Author Description

This book offers two interpretations of the Tao Te Ching: one by the renowned scholar James Legge and another translated and commented on by Jongho Park. Legge's translation has played a pivotal role in shaping the Western understanding of Eastern philosophy. However, recent discoveries of older editions of the text and advancements in Tao Te Ching research have led to a new translation that is more accessible to contemporary readers. Alongside Legge's respected translation, Park has provided a modern interpretation, striving to stay true to the original text while making it relatable and engaging for today's audience. Commentary is included to offer deeper insights into the philosophical concepts of the Tao Te Ching. Discover the enduring wisdom of the Tao Te Ching, cherished in Asia for centuries, and see how it can enrich your life.
