	ON THE WORD "TAOIST"
		One might, for instance, contrast Taoist priests with recognized teachers of Confucian texts, or initiates whose spiritual orientations were demonstrably shaped by Taoist scriptural traditions with thinkers explicitly committed in some specific sense to the ideals of Confucius and his followers.
		Outsiders were not concerned that the Taoists did not originate certain disciplines and rites, were not their main sponsors, and in many cases had no reason to alter them and give them a specifically Taoist flavor in use.
		The strength of European Taoist studies largely derives from the pioneering work of Henri Maspero and his colleagues at Paris, extended and refined in recent years by Max Kaltenmark, Rolf Stein, Schipper, and their associates, to the point that it provides a model of the critical approach which this essay seeks to further.
