Comparative Study of Self-Worth in the Tao Te Ching and Individualism in Walden

Yaru Liu

Abstract—This paper aims to compare Daoism’s “贵身”or Self-Worth and the idea of individualism. It conducts a comparative study based on their specific interpretations in the Tao Te Ching and Walden, revealing that these two philosophies share similarities in their treatment of the relationship between individuals and the material world, as well as individuals and themselves. The exploration of their similarities is linked to their philosophical foundations, their origins and development and key figures.

Index Terms—Self-worth, individualism, Walden, Tao Te Ching
