Taoist Philosophy

Although some similarities between Taoist philosophy and psychology, one feature becomes very likely when comparing Taoist and psychological approaches to the idea of self-transformation. Many psychological techniques, such as psychoanalysis, rely completely as a methodology.

This aversion to language as a tool for self-expression, Taoists learned to use other methods of self-expression. The art of calligraphy, for instance, seeks to express certain qualities using written symbols and exactly what is said is not the only important factor. The true beauty in calligraphy is found in the lettering itself.

Since it is an inherent truth of Taoism that nothing very bold can ever be said about it.Taoist ideas have assumed a covert and ambiguous character over the centuries.
