Biography

Fabrizio Pregadio has taught at the University of Venice (1996–97), the Technical University of Berlin (1998–2001), Stanford University (2001–08), and McGill University in Montreal (2009–10).

"With a focus on the history and traditions of Taoism, this work effectively challenges romanticized views that reduce the richness of these traditions to the Daode jing (Tao Te Ching) and the Zhuangzi (Chuang Tzu). The encyclopedia includes a 196-page overview that could serve as a superb intermediate textbook on Taoism." G. J. Reece (American University), Choice

The depth of the entries and variety of subjects covered are impressive, creating a must-have reference for anyone interested in Taoism." Christine Pesch (Yale University), Theological Librarianship
