A Global Dao: Diagnoses and Prescriptions for Artificial Reductive Binaries in the West and the East
A Global Dao: Diagnoses and Prescriptions for Artificial Reductive Binaries in The West and The East by Aaron Amon Greene Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences, University of Washington, 2017 Associate of Arts, South Puget Sound Community College, 2015; Associate of Applied Sciences (Business Administration), S.P.S.C.C., 2015 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Humanities in the Simon Fraser University /Department of Humanities Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © [Aaron Amon Greene] 2020 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY [2020] Approval Name: Aaron Amon Greene Degree: Master of Arts Title: A Global Dao: Diagnoses and Prescriptions for Artificial Reductive Binaries in The West and The East Examining Committee: Chair: David Mirhady Professor Paul Crowe Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Luke Clossey Supervisor Associate Professor Stephen Duguid Internal Examiner Professor Emeritus Date Defended/Approved: August 21, 2020 ii Abstract The arbiters of the subject of Daoism have assumed authority to determine what does or does not merit inclusion through a few select means; either through a circumscribed scholastic lens or via cultural/religious authority typically predicated on established traditions. This thesis attempts to explain the ways in which both approaches tend to minimize relevant or qualifying contributions to a subject of Religious Studies such as Daoism. Deconstructing these reductive approaches requires first exploring them on their own terms, establishing how they narrow the aperture of consideration, and demonstrating their highly limited applicability in forming a more comprehensive understanding. Both the presuppositional tendencies of essentialism in Western academia and traditionalism in Eastern mores serve to create false binaries that can exclude many potential contributors to ongoing discourses.
