Description

Yang Chu's 'Garden of Pleasure' invites readers into an ancient Chinese philosophy of hedonism and individual fulfillment. Embracing a life of sensual pleasures, Yang Chu explores the pursuit of happiness through nature, pleasure, and self-indulgence. This philosophical classic encourages a harmonious existence with one's desires, challenging traditional norms and fostering a contemplative appreciation of life's simple joys.

Yang Chu lived in the 300s B.C.E and was associated with Taoism. You might also know him as a typical philosopher of the classic age of Chinese thought. He has been associated with the Taoists since the rise of official Confucianism and the consolidation of what we now call Taoism.
