I am not extremely familiar with Daoism or the founding text, Dao De Jing. The United Version, offered here in translation by Yang Peng, has a very informative preface that explains the differences in the known texts and interpretations, the shortcomings of the English translations, and the need for a "united" new translation. The book has the English translation as well as the Chinese text, which is no doubt useful for those who are bilingual. The translation in English reads well. The philosophy is more and more revealing and meaningful as one learns more about Chinese religious and philosophical traditions and history, but even without a deep understanding of ancient China and where Laozi is coming from, there is a lot to ponder and appreciate in this small book. The production value of the book is excellent, the font is very pleasing to read and the book is the perfect size for frequent reference and pondering. All in all, a very valuable addition to the philosophy library. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
This new translation of the Chinese classic and foundation text of Daoism integrates the manuscript discoveries of the last 30 years, introducing a fundamentally different view of the nature of the Dao. Michael Puett, the Walter C. Klein Professor of Chinese History and Chair of the Committee on the Study of Religion at Harvard University, calls this translation "an excellent translation of one of the most important texts from the Chinese philosophical tradition," and goes on to state: "Building upon the crucial body of scholarship that has developed in China over the past several decades, Yang Peng succeeds in providing a translation that is both precise and readable. A wonderful achievement!" --Publisher Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The book itself is done well, with a nice forward, and two versions of the Dao de Jing in the book (English and in it's original form). ( )
