Publisher's Description of the book Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching Translation Based on His Taoism  


All of the original Taoism created by Lao Tzu are found in a simple book of about five thousand Chinese characters. Confucius, like numerous Chinese, treated sayings of Lao Tzu as adages. Hardly any punctilious Chinese intellectual could successfully argue that the whole text does not deserved to be painstakingly examined. This translation and introduction of Tao Te Ching aims to be both philosophically and linguistically close to the original Tao of Taoism. The Chinese version of this translation will shortly be published by iUniverse.com as well.

High praise for this translation:

"Your work on Lao Tzu promises to be very interesting."?
 Sir Alfred J. Ayer, professor, Oxford University

"I strongly recommend to you a new translation of Lao Tzu from a very remarkable translator, a Chinese lady, Lee Sun Chen Org, who deeply believes in the importance of this work for humanity."
 Sir Karl Popper, CH, FRS, FBA
