Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The Tao Te Ching, attributed to the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu, is one of the foundational texts of Taoism and a significant work of Chinese philosophy. Written in the 6th century BCE (though the exact date is uncertain), the Tao Te Ching consists of 81 short chapters, blending philosophy, spirituality, and ethics to describe the way (Tao) and the power (Te) that governs the universe.
The Tao Te Ching has profoundly influenced Chinese philosophy, politics, and culture, shaping the development of Taoism as both a spiritual and philosophical system. Its teachings have also influenced Buddhism, Confucianism, and various other schools of thought. The text has inspired countless commentaries, interpretations, and translations, both in the East and the West.
The Tao Te Ching is revered not only as a spiritual guide but also as a practical manual for life, offering wisdom for personal conduct, leadership, and harmonious living. Its ideas on non-attachment, simplicity, and the flow of life resonate with people seeking peace, balance, and understanding in a chaotic world.
