Abstract
Laozi's philosophy is political philosophy. What he focuses on is soci ety, not nature. His political philosophy includes anti-intelligence and humanit y, governing by doing nothing that goes against nature, being careful with war, maintaining modesty and friendship between countries as well as an ideal society of little country with a small population of people. In academic circles, C onfucius philosophy is regarded as ethics and Laozi nature, the later being of n atural philosophy. Taoism can be found everywhere in Laozi. So the later generat ion of Taoist learners are taken as Taoists who usually take Taoism as natural p hilosophy. Is it true from facts?
