Appropriating the Dao: The Euro-American Esoteric Reception of China

Assembling original contributions, this book is a pioneering attempt to address the Euro-American esoteric reception and appropriation of China.

Positioned between eighteenth-century's mesmerism and intersections with the modern martial arts current, the contributions specifically centre on nineteenth and early twentieth-century occult appraisals and representations. This book opens up an under-explored area of research in
the field of East-West interactions and the global history of religions.
