About the Author

Wayne L. Wang has been a researcher on Tao philosophy since 1999. He became interested in Tao philosophy because the Tao Te Ching has been treated as a mysterious philosophy, but shows some similarities to scientific phenomena. He has since devoted his time in further clarification of Tao and its relations to other philosophies. His first analysis was published as a book (1) The Dynamic Tao and its Manifestations (2004). Afterwards, he continues to work on the principle and logic of Tao philosophy. He has surveyed and consolidated many ancient and modern philosophies to formulate a consistent logic model for Tao philosophy. He has published The Basic Theory of Tao Philosophy (2006), which shows an initial scientific model reflecting the Tai-Chi relationship in Tao. He published a complete formulation of the logic structure as The Logic of Tao Philosophy (in Chinese, 2012). Since the completion of the analysis, he has summarized the results in two books: (2) The Logic of Tao Philosophy (2013) and (3) The Tao Te Ching: An Ultimate Translation (2013). The logic has been applied to (4) Searching for the Meaning of Life (2014). These works present the foundation of Tao philosophy. This is the first time that the logic of Tao philosophy is presented with clarity. It makes a logical and self-consistent translation of the Tao Te Ching possible, as a major step in our understanding of Tao philosophy. He holds a Ph. D. degree from M. I. T. and resides near Chicago, Illinois.
