** Daoists Seek Harmony** For a Chinese thinker named Laozi, who may have lived during the sixth century B.C., only the natural order was important. The natural order involves relations among all living things. His book //Dao De Jing// expressed Laozi's belief. He said that a universal force called the Dao, meaning "the Way," guides all things. Of all creatures of nature, according to Laozi, Only humans fail to follow the Dao. They argue about questions of right and wrong, good manners or bad. According to Laozi, such arguments are pointless. The philosophy of Laozi came to be known as Daoism. Daoists made many important contributions to the sciences of alchemy, astronomy, and medicine.
