Tao Te Ching

By Laozi

* This version does not include translator's notes nor commentary, and is not illustrated.

Here is a unique translation of the T o T Ching, its ancient message given new life by ensuring it remained rooted in the oldest manuscripts in existence.

This book is the result of a rigorous methodology and over 1500 hours spent immersed in the earliest versions of the T o T Ching: The Guodian Bamboo Slips and the Mawangdui Silk Texts (A and B). Each chapter has been handled with care, character by character. This process included visually inspecting manuscript images, etymological reconstruction, historical-linguistic analysis to identify possible language drift, researching cultural contexts, and repeatedly cross-comparing all available manuscripts.

If you have a love for, interest in, or curiosity about: The T o T Ching itself, T oism in general, or even just philosophy, here is an opportunity to experience the roots of an ancient worldview. Is this just a "different" version or one much closer to the original text? Each reader must determine that for themselves, and so you are invited to dive into the depths and explore
