The excellent translation of the Tao Tê Ching by the Chinese scholar Chung-yuan Chang reveals the profound wisdom and beauty of this ancient Chinese text. Traditionally attributed to the Taoist philosopher Lao Tzu, the Tao Tê Ching remains relevant worldwide today, more than two thousand years after its writing.
This translation of the Taoist text, with Chang's accompanying commentary, illuminates the true meaning of the Tao Tê Ching and makes this Chinese classic work accessible and relevant to contemporary ways of thinking, without diminishing the complex thought it contains.
Chang Chung-yuan is unique in his approach, and his introduction and commentary place the Taoist text in the context of Western metaphysics, referencing philosophers such as Heidegger, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Jung, Plato, Kant, and Nietzsche, as well as capturing the context in which Taoism came to the West.
"Tao: A New Way of Thinking" will be fascinating for anyone interested in Taoism and will be particularly appealing to those interested in comparative philosophy.
