Tao Te Ching (DAO de Jing): The Way to Goodness and Power (Chinese Bound Classics) - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

<div><div><b>One of the most influential books of all time gets a stunningly designed, dual-language edition, complete with a new translation, introduction, and editorial notes.</b><br> &#160;<br> No understanding of Chinese civilization is possible without a grasp of Taoism, the philosophy that shaped not just Chinese spirituality but also art, science, and politics. And it was in the <i>Tao Te Ching,</i> written around 300 BC, that the fundamental beliefs of Taoism were first gathered. In a compellingly simple rhetorical style, this short, wise, and extremely influential book addresses how to live a simple, peaceful, and harmonious life; rid oneself of desires; and free society of institutions that promote greed. This exquisite dual-language edition&#8212;which includes all 81 chapters&#8212;presents the original Chinese characters with a new translation on the facing page, as well as editorial notes and a new introduction that explores the questioned authorship of the text.</div></div>
