Dao De Jing

Dao De Jing

Dao De Jing

A Philosophical Translation

BY ROGER AMES, DAVID HALL

Brief Description:
In this elegant volume, Ames and Hall feature the original Chinese texts of the Dao de Jing and translate them into crisp, chiseled English that reads like poetry. Each of the eighty-one brief chapters is followed by clear, thought-provoking commentary exploring the layers of meaning in the text. The book's extensive introduction is a model of accessible scholarship in which Ames and Hall consider the origin of the text, place the emergence of Daoist philosophy in its historical and political context, and outline its central tenets.
