In Chinese philosophy, the ultimate universal principle (3)
I believe the answer is:
tao
This clue might be a double definition.
'in chinese philosophy' is the first definition.
'tao' can be an answer for 'philosophy'. I am not sure about the 'in chinese' bit.
'ultimate universal principle' is the second definition.
'Tao' can be an answer for 'principle' (Tao is an example). I'm not certain of the 'ultimate universal' bit.
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tao that I've seen before include "In China, code of behaviour in harmony with natural order" , "true path" , "Confucian way to be followed" , "Element of Chinese philosophy" , "Source of existence (Chinese)" .)
