Classical Chinese Philosophy: Shen Dao

Shen Dao (c. 350-275 B. C.) influenced both Daoism and Legalism. He was a native of Zhao who served at the Jixia academy in Qi (an ancient center of philosophical debate). A Han History lists him, along with Tian Pian, as having studied Huang-Lao doctrines and Dao-de (Laozi's Dao-De Jing).
