This book completely changed Laozi studies in China, where no serious student or scholar can ignore Chen’s amazing work. It is the standard interpretation of the Laozi at nearly every Chinese university.
The English translation provided here seeks to accurately reflect the detail of Chen’s meticulous work by providing multiple English translations of key characters, allowing the reader to follow complex Sinological arguments. The close “word-for-character” translation of the Laozi text enables scholars to interact with the Laozi on a level previously unavailable in English.
Readership:
All interested in the Laozi, Daoism, early Chinese thought, Pre-Qin philosophy, comparative philosophy, Asian thought, or non-Western philosophy. Those concerned with both philosophy, and religious or spiritual Daoism will find this book useful.
