The Eastern concept of the Tao shares some striking parallels with the Western concept of the Logos.
The Tao can be defined as the working out of polar but complementary opposites known as "yin and yang." It is the process by which all things change. The Logos is the divine animating or rational principle that is latent in nature and finds its fullest expression in the Hegelian dialectic. The dialectic is the Hegelian process of change by which thought unfolds itself. It is typically described in terms of the thesis, antithesis, and synthesis.
