The Enigma of Gender

Through luminous insight and powerful clarity, Moeller opens a new horizon—gender ease, a Daoist way of being that flows beyond fixed categories and hardened identities. – Robin R. Wang, author of Yinyang: The Way of Heaven and Earth in Chinese Thought and Culture
Moeller’s idea that gender is neither individual nor essential is intriguing and thought-provoking. His Daoist approach enriches contemporary debates regarding narratives about gender, taking inspiration from the fact that yin and yang, which represent feminine and masculine principles in Daoism, are fluid energies not fixed to gender (or identity). – Ellen Zhang, professor of comparative philosophy, University of Macau
In this timely book, Hans-Georg Moeller provides new approaches to gender informed by subjects ranging from East Asian cultures and Daoism to the increasing reliance on profiles, which has changed our conceptions of and relationships to gender. The philosophical perspectives, cultural observations, and writing style make this work both thought-provoking and enjoyable. – Paul J. D’Ambrosio, professor of Chinese philosophy, East China Normal University
