Overview
Excavated in 1993 in central China, this version of the Dao De Jing is over 125 years older than the previously oldest known version. Esteemed scholars Roger Ames and David Hall offer a vibrant new English translation of "the book of the Way and Virtue" informed by a profound respect for this timeless classic of wisdom literature. Original Chinese texts are translated into crisp, chiseled English that reads like poetry. Each of the 81 brief chapters is followed by clear, thought-provoking commentary, providing contemporary readers with new layers of understanding about Daoist philosophy, whose main principles include paradox, simplicity, and balance.
