Compares the metaphysical and mystical thought-systems of Sufism and Taoism and discovers that, although historically unrelated, the two share features and patterns which prove fruitful for a transhistorical dialogue. This book offers an analysis of parallel concepts of two great Taoist thinkers, Lao-tzu and Chuang-tzu.
