列子 by active 4th century B.C. Liezi

"列子 by active 4th century B.C. Liezi" is a Taoist text attributed to philosopher Lie Yukou, though scholars believe its current form was compiled around the 4th century CE. Divided into eight chapters named after legendary rulers and philosophers, the work explores Taoist principles through stories and teachings. It shares many passages with other ancient Chinese texts like the Zhuangzi, raising questions about its authenticity. The collection includes discussions of pure experience, harmony with nature, and controversially features a chapter on hedonistic philosophy that contrasts sharply with its other Daoist content.
