Really liking and tracking this. Do you know the work of Benebell Wen? Lots online and you tube. I find her very clear. But Robinet has been on my radar for a long time...

Thank you for the recommendation! I will watch her videos. Robinet's explanations go in various directions, but they help make sense of all this dense Taoist literature.

I like the idea of 'learning to unlearn. In Robinet's book, did she mention more on the development of Taoism and other philosophies during the Warring States period? Here sentence here, I find intriguing: "She believes that for China it was an intense period of intellectual development that laid the foundation for all Chinese culture".

Yes, she did. I skip it because I find it rather repetitive in terms of ideas.
