Lao-Tzu: Te-Tao Ching

Lao-tzu''s "Te-Tao Ching" has been treasured for thousands of years for its poetic statement of life''s most profound and elusive truths. This new translation, based on the 1973 discovery of two copies of the manuscript more than five centuries older than any others known, corrects many defects of the later versions. In his extensive commentary, Professor Henricks reevaluates traditional interpretations.
