Lao Tzu,
By Bao Pu (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Religious and Philosohical Aspects of the Laozi (S U N Y Series in Chinese Philosophy and Culture) (Suny Series, Chinese Philosophy & Culture) (Paperback)
a great book for people who are interested in the philosophy and the practices of the earliest "Daoists". Many of the best modern scholars have contributed essays to this book, such as Liu Xiaogan, Robert Henricks, Harold Roth, Philip Ivanhoe and Isabelle Robinet. Check out the sample pages available above. Liu Xiaogan's 24-page essay examining Ziran ("naturalness and spontaneity") is my personal favourite. I believe that this "concept" is the most important one in all of the Daoist philosophy. Ivanhoe brings to light some aspects of De (Virtue - Power) that previous scholars have overlooked. Isabelle Robinet also wrote a good essay illustrating, by comparison, the various interpretations of many past "experts".BAO PU |
