This handsome hardback edition presents the classic text, Tao Te Ching, beautifully illustrated in full color with traditional artwork.
The Tao Te Ching came into existence some 2,500 years ago, since when it has become the most influential text of eastern philosophy. Best translated as the classic of the way and its power (or virtue), its teachings are of simplicity, humility, and 'non-action', and its cadenced poetry is at once spare and profound. This illustrated hardback edition features exquisite images that bring out the timeless wisdom of the text and its subtle guidance on how to live well. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Ancient Wisdom Library series brings together classic works on ancient philosophy and spirituality, each imparting timeless wisdom which continues to resonate in the modern world. These compact hardback editions with full-color illustrations are perfect for scholars and enthusiasts alike.According to tradition, Lao Tzu (an honorific title, meaning 'Old Master') was a contemporary of Confucius and the father of Taoism in the 6th Century BCE. Many modern scholars, however, doubt his existence and contend that the Tao Te Ching was the work of several authors.
Translator John H. Macdonald studied several different versions of the Tao Te Ching in an attempt to find consensus between them and determine the literal meaning of the original.Contributor(s)
