Taoist thinkers interpret existence as a continuous process. The source of changes is not an external force, but a tendency for transformation inherent in the Universe. In the world limited by space, time, and causation, in the world of distinctions and oppositions, Taoist practitioners achieve freedom of the mind and go beyond such a distinction. A new worldview without preferences towards any binary opposition is formed. Taoists obtain true knowledge of the world and develop complete awareness of infinity and diversity of life. This paper aims to analyze the key concepts of Taoism.

Даосские мыслители интерпретируют существование как непрерывный процесс. Источником изменений является не внешняя сила, а тенденция к трансформации, присущая Вселенной. В мире, ограниченном пространством, временем и причинно-следственными связями, в мире различий и оппозиций, даосские практики достигают свободы разума и выходят за рамки таких различий. Формируется новый взгляд на мир без преимуществ по отношению к любой бинарной оппозиции. Даосские мыслители получают истинное знание о мире и развивают полную осведомленность о бесконечности и разнообразии жизни. Целью данной статьи является анализ ключевых понятий даосизма.
