Produktbeschreibung
Lao Tzu's 'Tao Te Ching', or Book of the Way, is the classic manual on the art of living and one of the wonders of the world. In eighty-one brief chapters, the 'Tao Te Ching' llods at the basic predicatment of being alive and gives advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit. This book is about wisdom in action. It teaches how wo work for the good with the efforless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao (the basic principle of the universe) and applies equally to good government and sexual love, to childrearing, business, and ecology. The Tao Te Ching is the most widely traslated book in world literature, after the Bible. Yet the gemlike lucidity of the original has eluded most previous translations, and they have obscured some of its central ideas.
Autorenporträt
Lao Tzu is traditionally considered to have lived in the 6th century BC during China's Spring and Autumn period. This era was marked by significant intellectual and cultural development but also by political fragmentation and turmoil among the various states competing for power in the waning years of the Zhou dynasty.Lao Tzu, often considered the founder of Taoism, is best known for writing the Tao Te Ching. This text, central to Taoist philosophy, explores themes such as the nature of existence, the virtue of yielding, and leading with humility. Despite debates surrounding his historical existence, Lao Tzu's teachings have profoundly influenced Eastern philosophy and spirituality, emphasizing harmony with the Tao, or the fundamental way of the universe.The Tao Te Ching holds significant historical importance as a foundational Taoist text, shaping not only religious practices but also Chinese culture and thought. Its teachings on simplicity, naturalness, and the balance of yin and yang have transcended cultural boundaries, influencing various philosophical traditions and offering deep insights into the human condition and governance. The work's poetic and paradoxical nature invites continuous interpretation, making it a timeless guide to living harmoniously within the natural order.
