That doesn't always happen in a in a book that's about philosophy.

So why do you think these uh these facts matter so much for our understanding of the philosophy in these texts?
matched
Right.
matched
So when we're looking at for instance the Zhuangzi versus Shunzi, th these are gonna be constructed in different ways and so interpretive practices are going to have to be
matched
refined in v i attending to what kind of text we're looking at.
matched
Right.
matched
Yep.
matched
Good.
matched
So let's dive in then to these six chapters of the book.
matched
We have I'll just list them out here for for listeners.
matched
We have the way, the state.
matched
Ethics, ethical cultivation, epistemology, and then a concluding chapter, language and logic, as one topic.
matched
And in each of these, as you say, you take readers through these eight different collections.
matched
Um, not not always, I think all eight in each, but each each one is pretty, pretty uh uh comprehensive, and you focus on the topics, as you say.
matched
Um now in the book, I believe you
matched
say that readers can take up the chapters separately, but it seemed to me in reading that the first chapter, the way, is pretty crucial for the ones that that follow.
matched
So so that leads me to my first question, which I realize might be unanswerable on some philosophical views, but what is the Tao and why did you start with it?
matched
Uh so when you're talking about the Taoists
matched
Who are the Taoists in your view in the book?
matched
Great, that's helpful.
