<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This enigmatic work by Dr. Anderson combs through the Daodejing, line by line, in new translation giving robust commentary to the dark side of the Dao. It is a direct response to the pronounced current in Daoist literature which recognizes some form of "cultivated" or "perfected" person, but awards scant recognition of the "unwhole" or "imperfect" parts of a lived life. We invite you to delve into this work and explore the necromantic philosophy espoused herein and learn the ways of the living ghost."--Publisher's description.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>The Way of the Living Ghost</em> is a cautionary treatise. It is a work about being hollow and overfull, and about seeing "now" and "then" through darkened eyes. It is about hunger, need, loss, violence, and injustice. It is a meditation on paradox and inertia. All of these are hallmarks of ghosts, but the living ghost can change its fate.</p><p>This enigmatic work by Dr Anderson combs through the <em>Daodejing</em>, line by line, in new translation giving robust commentary to the dark side of the Dao.
