The Need of Taoism

Taoism takes the position that there really is a metaphysical reality. They're realists on one hand, but they are very different in that they do not regard the ultimate truth of the universe as something that can be explicitly uttered. This creates an interesting position that i haven't seen really explicitly laid out anywhere else where. It's also famously the first line of the daute shing, which is probably the nmens ly remarkable if you think about this from the point of view as a religious text.
