Taoism. Growth of a Religion, Hardback/Isabelle Robinet

For many years, it was customary to divide Taoism into "philosophical Taoism " and "religious Taoism ." The author has long argued that this is a false division and that "religious" Taoism is simply the practice of "philosophical" Taoism . She sees Taoism as foremost a religion, and the present work traces the development of Taoism up to the point it reached its mature form.
