2 See in particular her lucid syntheses and conclusions in Chapters 1 and 2 based on Linda Penkower's work on Tiantai in the Tang, as well as T. H. Barrett on Daoism. This subtle interpretive move seems to be informed by the recent work on typological problem of “religions” in the Chinese case and “the constant self-construction” of tradition elsewhere (pp. 3–4).
