Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Written in about the sixth century BC, the "Tao Te Ching" is the classic text written by the Chinese sage, Laozi( or Lao Tzu), a contemporary of Confucuis. Although written more than 2,500 years ago its concepts and teachings have never been more relevant to the Western world than they are today. He offers profound wisdom, arguing that humankind is but a tiny part of the whole universe and that individuals can attain true fulfilment by striving to live in harmony - not only with others but with their natural environment. This illustrated silk-bound edition offers an insightful new translation with the works organised into 81 verses divided into two parts - it is an essential edition to any collection of the world's classic texts. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Good hardback copy in very good dustjacket, some underlining and annotations. xv, 448 pages. Presents a clear look at classical Chinese philosophy from a Daoist point of view, using recently deciphered Chinese theories of language to shed light on Chinese ethical and political theories. The author draws on modern theories of meaning to guide this original interpretive theory. The rigorous methodology reveals a philosophically lucid Daoism grounded in distinctively Chinese theories of language and psychology. The philosophy of language perspective illuminates the Daoist love of paradox and conceptual play as it unmasks a philosophical artistry that orthodox accounts have obscured. This book reveals that the intuitionism responsible for the murky image of Chinese thought among reflective thinkers is a feature only of Confucianism. This methodically exacting revision of our view of all of ancient Chinese thought elevates Daoism above Confucianism in a demonstrably philosophical age. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book.
