Fabrizio Pregadio (born January 14, 1957) is a Sinologist and a translator of Chinese language texts into English related to Taoism and Neidan (Internal Alchemy). He is currently affiliated with the International Consortium for Research in the Humanities (University of Erlangen-Nuremberg),[1]
and is working on a project on the Taoist Master Liu Yiming (1734-1821)
with the support of the German Research Foundation (DFG).[2]
Earlier, Pregadio taught at the University of Venice (1996–97), the Technical University of Berlin (1998-2001), Stanford University (2001–08), McGill University in Montreal (2009–10), and the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (2014-18).
His research interests are the Taoist views of the human being; the self-cultivation traditions of Taoism; their foundations in early Taoist works; and their relation to Chinese traditional sciences, including cosmology, alchemy, and medicine.
Pregadio is the author of Great Clarity: Daoism and Alchemy in Early Medieval China (Stanford University Press, 2006) [3] and the editor of The Encyclopedia of Taoism (Routledge, 2008).[4] His translations of Taoist texts include the Wuzhen pian (Awakening to Reality, 2009),[5] the Cantong qi (The Seal of the Unity of the Three, 2011 and 2012),[6]
the Ruyao jing (Mirror for Compounding the Medicine, 2013),[7]
a work by the Taoist master Liu Yiming (Cultivating the Tao, 2013),[8]
and an anthology of texts on Neidan or Internal Alchemy (2019),[9]
all published by Golden Elixir Press.
