Abstract
This study is divided into three main parts, and additionally includes an introduction, conclusion, footnotes and a bibliography. The first section examines the historical development of the social philosophy propounded by the Pre-ch’in Taoists, from Lao-tzu through Chuang-tzu to Lieh-tzu. The second part deals with the Taoist principle of social living, its problems and solutions. Finally we attempt a critique on the values and the limitations of Taoist social philosophy in the Pre-ch’in period.
