Publisher's Synopsis
This book analyzes the philosophical concept of Codependent Polarity (also known as Yin-Yang, or dualistic monism), in hopes of teaching the reader to live in harmony with their environment by bringing the essence of Daoism in everyday life. The CPCSU is divided into three parts; the Universe, Consciousness, and Society. It begins by explaining the essence of quantum mechanics, string theory, and gravitational relativity through the eyes of a Daoist. Once the conceptual structure of the universe has been grasped, the CPCSU reflects on the philosophical works of Laozi, Alan Watts, Albert Camus, and Arthur Schopenhauer in order to analyze the nature of human existence, and explains how to meet inner contentedness by realizing the immense interconnectivity of the universe, overcoming the alienating sense of existential dread prevalent in today's culture. Schopenhauer inflicts nihilism, Camus provides an alternative, Alan Watts introduces us into metaphysics, and Laozi introduces us into bringing the Dao into our lifestyles. In the final chapter, this book will try to tackle the issues of cultural society. It briefly points out the source and catalyst of unhappiness in society, and structures a solution implementing the properties of Daoism to create a centrist utopia with balanced harmony as its central ideology. A critical yet casual review of our reality, Codependent Polarity opens a door of perception focused on harmonizing beauty with utility, conservativism and liberalism, collectivism and individualism, etc. The nature of this book strives to expand the horizons of dualistic monoism, aiming to transcent the way the reader analyzes a situation, and bring happiness into their lives from within. A must read for anyone interested in the potentials of Daoism and its possibility of remedying the human case.
