Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This unique edition of the Tao Te Ching features:

• a concordance section that enables the reader to track the different ways a single character is used throughout the work;
• grammatical and interpretive notes on individual terms and verses; * a unique commentary on the first verse, which represents a complete spiritual teaching in itself; and
• a literary translation of the Tao Te Ching that can be read on its own or compared with the verbatim translation.
