religion, in the classical sense of this word.
This is because it is being largely based not on
faith, but on philosophical rationale, which is
the reason why Taoism appeals to people who have
their sense of logic, as the cornerstone, upon
which their mental activity is based. The book Tao
Te Ching, which was allegedly written by Lao Tsu,

should define peoples existential mode. The

cases he takes a more optimistic view. Ralegh is
