And it was in the Tao Te Ching, written around 300BC, that the fundamental beliefs of Taoism were first gathered. This short, wise but very humble book went on to influence on philosophy, religion and politics. In a compellingly simple rhetorical style the book addresses how to live a simple, peaceful and harmonious life, how to rid oneself of desires and free society of institutions that promote greed. This dual-language edition of Tao Te Ching presents the original Chinese characters with a new translation on the facing page. With a new introduction that discusses the questioned authorship of the text and editorial notes, all 81 brief chapters are included, ranging from advice for politicians to wise words for the everyday person. Of immense influence across millennia, Tao Te Ching is a classic text richly deserving this exquisite edition.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 265mmItem Length: 196mmItem Width: 20mmItem Weight: 810gAuthor: Lao TzuTranslator: James TrappContributor: James Trapp (Translated by)Genre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Chinese BoundRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
