陶涛

Tao Tao is an author about whom little public information is available. His writing and editorial work span several fields, including biography, popular aesthetics and philosophy, and applied ethics. Seven of his works are held in the collection, ranging from a biography of the red-topped merchant Hu Xueyan to accessible introductions such as Everyone Should Understand Aesthetics and Everyone Should Understand Philosophy. He has also contributed to the first three volumes of the Workshop on Frontier Issues in Applied Ethics series, which addresses current topics in ethics. Overall, Tao Tao's writing combines readability with knowledge, turning fairly specialized material into expressions accessible to general readers, and touches on categories such as general biography, social culture, social science, and Western philosophy.
