This book explores Daoist philosophies of qi and virtue through inquiry into their potential as technologies for cultivating good among individuals and society within educational settings, as well as in the modern world. The first part of the book, authored by Jing Lin, examines Daoist cosmology, axiology, and epistemology. She illuminates qi cultivations reliance on the accumulation of virtues, leading to transformation of the body and evenextraordinarilythe abilities of Daoist masters to transcend physical limitations to achieve health, longevity, and immortality. The second part of the book, authored by Tom Culham, establishes an understanding of qi and virtue as a technology within the Daoist paradigm, outlining the benefits of its cultivation while illuminating how contemporary Western philosophy and science support this paradigm. Both authors explore new forms of education to incorporate Daoist wisdom in schooling.

Tom Culham is Full-Time Lecturer and Researcher of Ethics in the Strategy Area of the Beedie School of Business at Simon Fraser University, Canada.

Jing Lin is Harold R. W. Benjamin Professor of International Education at University of Maryland, College Park, USA.
