Abstract

Purpose The aim of the study is to assess the extent to which Taoist philosophy offers thematic and ethical insights relevant to current global crises, including climate change, food insecurity, renewed conflict and increased authoritarianism. Design/methodology/approach A critical review of specific verses from the Tao Te Ching and research sources relevant to them is carried out. Findings Taoist philosophy, of ancient origins, is surprisingly relevant to modern crises. While not offering definitive answers, it does provide thematic and ethical insights for reorienting governance in more productive ways. Originality/value While there is a large literature on Taoist philosophy itself, there is a paucity of research articles on the modern relevance of Taoist philosophy to pressing current issues. The article brings together and assesses these sources, considering relevant research.

道教与当前的全球危机:对伦理与治理的洞察

本研究的目的是评估道教哲学在多大程度上提供了与当前全球危机相关的主题和伦理见解，包括气候变化、粮食不安全、重新爆发的冲突和威权主义的增加。设计/方法/方法对《道德经》中的特定诗句及其相关研究来源进行批判性回顾。古老的道家哲学与现代危机有着惊人的关联。虽然没有提供明确的答案，但它确实为以更有效的方式重新定位治理提供了主题和道德见解。虽然有大量关于道家哲学本身的文献，但关于道家哲学与当前紧迫问题的现代相关性的研究文章却很少。本文汇集和评估这些来源，考虑到相关研究。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
