Una edición ilustrada de la obra cumbre filosófica china, que apuesta por una armonía más a fondo y plena con la naturaleza. El libro más importante del pensamiento taoísta pero con una clara impronta en el budismo Chan, el cual comparte muchos conceptos del taoismo. Dirigido a todo aquel que este interesado en comprender las bases de la filosofia taoista. El Tao Te Ching se traduce como el Clasico de Caminos y virtudes. El libro, segun dice la leyenda, fue escrito alrededor del año 700 a. C., y su autor es Laozi (Viejo Filosofo, Anciano Maestro), de quien se dice fuera un archivista de la corte imperial durante la dinastia Zhou. Sin embrago, la autenticidad de estos detalles es aun objeto de discusion. El Tao Te Ching describe una fuerza, llamada dao (Tao), que es el orden del mundo. En la antigua China, las disputas sobre el dao versaban sobre el mejor modo de alcanzar la armonia social. Se trata de un volumen breve con 81 capitulos que exponen la filosofia taoista dirigida en dos sentidos. Uno es la transmision de la idea de Tao y de la manera de obrar del hombre santo o sabio que la llega a conocer. Por otra parte, el Tao Te Ching aconseja a los gobernantes para regir de forma sabia. En China, la filosofia de la naturaleza y la vision del mundo estan impregnadas del pensamiento taoista, por ello, muchos artistas, pintores, caligrafos y hasta jardineros han usado este libro como fuente de inspiracion.

The Tao Te Ching is fundamental to the Taoist school of Chinese philosophy and strongly influenced other schools, such as Legalism and Neo-Confucianism. This ancient book is also central in Chinese religion, not only for Taoism but Chinese Buddhism, which when first introduced into China was largely interpreted through the use of Taoist words and concepts. Many Chinese artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers, and even gardeners have used the Tao Te Ching as a source of inspiration. Its influence has also spread widely outside East Asia, aided by hundreds of translations into Western languages.

"Moss Roberts provides a scholarly reading of the Dao De Jing so generous, so vivid, you can feel valley mist on your face and smell the straw dogs. Here are the furious warlords, craggy landscapes teeming with the ten thousand creatures of Taoist philosophy; China''s careful arts of government and war; science, yoga, alchemy, erotics; old bamboo texts hidden in caves for millennia. This book is for anyone who has met Laozi''s ''dark'' mind and wants a closer look."--Andrew Schelling, author of "The Cane Groves of Narmada River: Erotic Poems from Old Indiaand "Tea Shack Interior: New & Selected Poetry "This is a work of great creativity and impressive scholarship. He has achieved a translation that replicates, as closely as possible, the literary merit of the original, its rhythms and its rhymes. He repeatedly brings to our attention fresh insights and interpretations that deserve careful consideration. Roberts not only makes use of the Mawangdui manuscripts but, even more importantly, the recent Guodian finds, the latter opening a whole new page in Laozi Studies."--Stephen Durrant, Professor of Asian Studies at the University of Oregon and author of "The Cloudy Mirror: Tension and Conflict in the Writing of Sima Qian "Moss Roberts'' commentary is provocative and compelling. The scholarship informing the work is solid, but like the "Dao De Jing itself, the scholarship is not flaunted, but rather subservient to the messages of the text itself." --Hoyt Tillman, Professor of History, Arizona State University. "This new translation of the Dao De Jing is an exceptional literary effort, capable of reinvigorating the English version of the text both as literature and as philosophy, whilealso bringing new scholarly insight to the meaning of the work. Professor Roberts'' combination of linguistic expertise and poetic sensitivity and skill is rare and special, and should win this translation a large and appreciative audience."--John Major, author of "Heaven and Earth in Early Han Thought, "China Chic: East Meets West, and co-editor of "World Poetry "Reading Professor Moss Roberts''s new translation of Dao De Jing gives one a sense of pleasure and surprise. He is a diligent and rigorous
