The Tao Te Ching on the Art of Harmony by Chad Hansen

The Tao Te Ching on the Art of Harmony by Chad Hansen

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.

Chad Hansen, a specialist in ancient Chinese thought, is Professor in Chinese Philosophy at the Centre of Asian Studies at the University of Hong Kong. He serves on the editorial board of Philosophy East and West. He is the co-author of The Complete Idiots Guide to Taoism (2002) and the author of Language and Logic in Ancient China (1983) and A Daoist Theory of Chinese Thought (1992).
