Tao Te Ching: Six Classical Translations

Tao Te Ching: Six Classical Translations

Ch'u Ta-Kao
4.3/5 ( ratings)
The Tao Te Ching is one of the most translated books in history, however, one cannot say there is such thing as a best translation for this text since some are more of an interpretation than a translation.

To better understand the concept it teaches, and for easy comparison, this book presents for each of the eighty-one chapters of the Tao Te Ching, six side-by-side classic translations by:

- Dwight Goddard and Henri Borel
- Walter Gorn Old
- James Legge
- Isabella Mears
- C. Spurgeon Medhurst
- Ch’u Ta-Kao

The book also presents twenty-one beautiful traditional Chinese paintings to illustrate this classic text of the Chinese philosophy.
