The Original Wisdom of the Dao De Jing [Eccs Books] order from Amazon, Barnes&Noble, or your local Indie bookstore.
The Dao De Jing is a classic of ancient Chinese philosophy and one of the great wisdom texts of world literature. To recover its original meaning P. J. Laska sets aside the long commentarial tradition of paradox and mysticism and re-interprets the work as a coherent natural philosophy and holistic ecological teaching concerned with the "constancy" of the life community as a whole. In this new translation and commentary the ancient "Way of the Sages" is presented as biocentric political ecology teaching that "Great governance does not cut," but acts to protect the community of life from the "excess, extravagance and extremes" of accumulationist designs. The commentary on each translated verse is designed to convey the holistic understanding of the world-process that the ancient sages' used to guide human designs toward simplicity and integration with nature and away from hierarchical instruments of domination.
Thank you for sharing amazing blog. Our unique vision is to create a world of "Donor". Wisdom of the Natural World. We are focused on challenging the "taker" mentality of our dominant beggar-your-neighbor culture, shifting it to a mindset that recognizes that we are stronger together, and where collective support is needed. Abundance creates an overflow of "giver" energy for an inclusive and compassionate society.
