Chinese alchemy, deeply rooted in Taoism, has a recorded history of more than 2,000 years. Describing its essence as 'to make the body a spirit and the spirit a body,' Jean Cooper explores the history and development of the ethos, contrasts it with alchemical practices in India and Turkistan and adds further context by juxtaposing it against the philosophical underpinnings of the Western hermetic tradition.
