Dao De Jing
This translation shows that "Dao De Jing" is far more than a work of personal inspiration; it is also a book of universal scope that makes penetrating comments, still applicable today, on politics, statecraft, cosmology, aesthetics, and ethics.
The Tao Te Ching, Or the Tao and Its Characteristics by Laozi
The Tao Te Ching, Dao De Jing, or Daodejing, also simply referred to as the Laozi, whose authorship has been attributed to Laozi, is a Chinese classic text. Its name comes from the opening words of its two sections: dao "way," and de "virtue/power," plus jing "classic." According to tradition, it was written around the 6th century BC by the sage Laozi (or Lao Tzu, "Old Master"), a record-keeper at the Zhou Dynasty court, by whose name the text is known in China. The text's true authorship and date of composition or compilation are still debated, although the oldest excavated text dates back to the late 4th century BC. The text is fundamental to the Philosophical Taoism (Daojia) and strongly ...
Laozi Lao Tzu - Tao Te Ching
The Tao Te Ching is fundamental to the Taoist school of Chinese philosophy and strongly influenced other schools, such as Legalism and Neo-Confucianism. This ancient book is also central in Chinese religion, not only for Taoism but Chinese Buddhism, which when first introduced into China was largely interpreted through the use of Taoist words and concepts. Many Chinese artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers, and even gardeners have used the Tao Te Ching as a source of inspiration. Its influence has also spread widely outside East Asia, aided by hundreds of translations into Western languages.
The Daodejing of Laozi
A Daoist classic that has had a profound influence on Chinese thought, the Laozi or Daodejing, evolved into its present form sometime around the third century BCE and continues to enjoy great popularity throughout East Asia and beyond. Philip J Ivanhoe's lucid and philosophically-minded interpretation and commentary offer fresh insights into this classic work. In the substantial introduction and numerous notes, Ivanhoe draws attention to the issues at play in the text, often relating them to contemporary philosophical discussions and directing the reader to related passages within the Daodejing and to other works of the period. The Language Appendix, unique to this edition, offers eight translations of the opening passage by well-known and influential scholars and explains, line-by-line, how each might have reached his particular interpretation.
Tao Te Ching by Laozi (Illustrated)
A classic of Chinese philosophical literature, the ‘Tao Te Ching’ was traditionally ascribed to the legendary sixth century BC philosopher Laozi, though this is now largely disputed. The religious tradition of Taoism emphasises the importance of living in harmony with the ‘Tao’, the fundamental, impersonal principle that underlies the universe. One of its foundational texts, the ‘Tao Te Ching’ presents a way of life intended to restore harmony and tranquillity to a kingdom racked by widespread disorders. The text was critical of the unbridled wantonness of self-seeking rulers and disdainful of the social activism characteristic of Confucian ethics. The work has inspired countless...

Tao Te Ching
Lao Tzu was a mystic philosopher of ancient China, best known as the author of the Tao Te Ching (often simply referred to as Laozi). His association with the Tao Te Ching has led him to be traditionally considered the founder of Taoism (pronounced as "Daoism"). He is also revered as a deity in most religious forms of the Taoist religion, which often refers to Laozi as Taishang Laojun, or "One of the Three Pure Ones." Laozi translated literally from Chinese means "old master" or "old one," and is generally considered honorific. According to Chinese tradition, Laozi lived in the 6th century BCE. Historians variously contend that Laozi is a synthesis of multiple historical figures, that he is a mythical figure, or that he actually lived in the 5th-4th century BCE, concurrent with the Hundred Schools of Thought and Warring States Period. As a result of being a a central figure in Chinese culture, both nobility and common people claim Lao Tzu in their lineage.
The Way of Life
Tao Te Ching, here translated under the title The Way of Life, is ancient China's great contribution to the literature of philosophy, religion, and mysticism. Tao Te Ching contains the time-honored teachings of Taosim and brings a message of living simply, finding contentment with a minimun of comfort, and prizing culture above all else. This is the classic translation of the eighty-one poems constituting an Eastern classic, the mystical and moral teachings of which have profoundly influenced the sacred scriptures of many religions.
