Oneness

Ivanhoe, P. J.

New York, Oxford University Press

<p>A Daoist classic that has had a profound influence on Chinese thought, the Laozi or Daodejing, evolved into its present form sometime around the third century BCE and continues to enjoy great popularity throughout East Asia and beyond. Philip J Ivanhoe's lucid and philosophically-minded interpretation and commentary offer fresh insights into this classic work. In the substantial introduction and numerous notes, Ivanhoe draws attention to the issues at play in the text, often relating them to contemporary philosophical discussions and directing the reader to related passages within the Daodejing and to other works of the period. The Language Appendix, unique to this edition, offers eight translations of the opening passage by well-known and influential scholars and explains, line-by-line, how each might have reached his particular interpretation.</p>

<p>Ivanhoe (philosophy and Asian languages and culture, U. of Michigan) has here slightly revised his translation of the foundational Chinese Taoism text for Readings in Classical Chinese Philosophy (2000). He has also added more notes explaining philosophical points of interest, an introduction exploring main themes and ideas, and an appendix of translations of the first chapter by eight eminent scholars and a line-by-line explanation of their rationale.
