hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1991 State University of New York Press (Albany, New York), 6 1/4 x 9 1/4 inches tall hardcover, no dust jacket (as issued), xii, 314 pp. Very slight rubbing and edgewear to covers, with sun fading to spine. Slight bumping to the upper tip of the rear cover. Otherwise, a near fine copy - clean, bright and unmarked. ~U~ [2.0P] China has a long tradition of their intellectuals writing commentaries on the classics, and the Tao Te Ching attributed to Lao Tzu has perhaps attracted more such commentaries than any other classic. The commentaries of Wang Pi and Ho-shang Kung are two of the oldest surviving ones, and two of the most influential in Chinese culture. In simplistic terms, Wang Pi is the more philosophical one - and thus more appealing to Western philosophers - while the one attributed to Ho-shang Kung is the more religious one, having influenced the development of the Taoist religion. After recounting what we know of both authors, one historical one legendary, Chan explains the ideas presented in each commentary. How Wang Pi bases his reading of the Tao Te Ching on the notion of wu (or 'non-being') and li (or 'principle,' 'pattern'), explicating the ideas Wang Pi found in the work; how the Ho-shang Kung commentary draws on the older Huang-lao philosophical school to present an interpretation based on external contexts, such as the history of the text and how it applies to specific passages. Yet both share an interest in explicating the political meaning of the Tao Te Ching, and how the Sage can best advise the ruler in governing the realm. In short, this book presents a Chinese reading of this text, a useful corrective for Western readers who often come to the Tao Te Ching from experience with New Age religions or political theories such as Libertarianism or Anarchism.
