	Daoism versus Taoism
		Daoism is the official pinyin Chinese Romanization of the word 道 -- Taoism (c.f.), which refers to an Asian philosophy and religion.
		The concepts of Taoism were first widely studied in the West when the older and slightly less complete Wade-Giles transliteration system was in use.
		Thus, 'daoism' is closer, provided the 'd' sound is rather clipped (like 't'), and not followed by a puff of air.

	Wikipedia: Taoism
		Taoism or Daoism (from Chinese 道, in pinyin dao4) is an Asian philosophy and religion, though it is also said to be neither but rather a way of life.
		Taoism is a tradition that has, with its traditional foil Confucianism, shaped Chinese life for more than 2,000 years.
		Though specific religious aspects are not mentioned in the Dao De Jing or Zhuang Zi, as Taoism spread through the population of China, it became mixed with other, pre-existing beliefs, such as Five Elements theory, alchemy, ancestor worship, and magic spells.

		The ‘tao’ or ‘way’ denotes the hidden principle of the universe, and less stress is laid on good deeds than on harmonious interaction with the environment, which automatically ensures right behaviour.
		The universe is believed to be kept in balance by the opposing forces of yin and yang that operate in dynamic tension between themselves.
		From the 4th century, rivalry between Taoists and Mahāyāna Buddhists was strong in China, leading to persecution of one religion by the other; this was resolved by mutual assimilation, and Taoism developed monastic communities similar to those of the Buddhists.

	Taoism / Daoism Philosophy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In the philosophical Taoism of the Tao Te Ching, and Chuang-Tzu, the emphasis is on conserving te by using it efficiently.
		A second current of Taoism might be called "vitalizing Taoism" because it seeks to increase or augment the supply of the Tao's power which it finds in the life-force, or ch'i, through three means: movement, matter, and mind.
		Where philosophical Taoism sought to conserve and manage power, and vitalizing Taoism sought to increase the supply of this power, a third approach was still needed.

	Taoism
		Yin Yang is often used to symbolize taoism.
		Taoism (from Chinese 道, in pinyin dao4, and thus sometimes spelled Daoism; see Daoism versus Taoism) is an Asian philosophy and religion, though it is also said to be neither but rather a way of life.
		Taoism places emphasis upon individual freedom and spontaneity, non-interventionist government and social primitivism and ideas of self-transformation, and so represents in many ways the antithesis to Confucian concern with moral duties, social cohesion, and governmental responsibilities, even if Confucius' thought includes those Taoist values, as one can read in the Analects.

	Kinhide Mushakoji: Confucianism & Taoism as Cultural Polarities in East Asia
		Daoism has been mostly subservient to the Confucian order, and the overseas Chinese communities are often feared and discriminated by their host state because of their past role in keeping the commercial ties of Pax Cinica even during the colonial days.
		Daoism, to begin with, is broadly defined to include beside the thoughts of Lao Tse (Laoji) and Zhuangji and all the folk traditions and cultural trends associated with Daoism as a popular religion.
		Daoism, broadly defined, is characterized generally by a diffused set of beliefs with diversified ideal and practical manifestations based on a centrifugal, local self-organizing, freewheeling ideological orientation.

	Daoist Perspectives on Chinese and Global Environmental Management

	Daoist Studies Review of Historical Dictionary of Taoism by Julian Pas \| Taoism \| Daoism
		Next, we find the introduction where Pas discusses the "nature of Daoism" (repeatedly), historical antecedents and parallel developments, Daoism in modern times, Daoism and Chinese culture, and unity versus multiplicity (1-50).
		With regards to the former, the Western construction of "philosophical Daoism" has no correlation to the Chinese term daojia, a taxonomic category used by Han historiographers as a way of classifying texts and as a veiled reference to the Huang-Lao tradition.
		With regards to the latter, Pas' distinction presupposes a dichotomy that contradicts a classical Daoist worldview, rooted in the "emanationist cosmogony/cosmology" of the classical texts of the Warring States period.

	The Logos Solution
		The philosophy of Taoism (or Daoism) has long held the concept of the yin and yang, the female and male respectively, the dark, moist, receptive, passive versus the light, dry, initiative, active.
		Therefore, my proposition is this: since women are, as a rule, more in tune with their emotional side than men, and this side is closer to the spiritual, it stands to reason that women would be more in tune spiritually as well.
		Further, because all things connect in the spiritual realm (the immanent side of God’s nature versus His transcendence), this could also explain how people who are emotionally bonded can be alerted of danger or disaster regardless of distance, and why women seem to be more in tune to this phenomenon than men.
