Arthur Waley's brilliant and definitive translation of one of the
foremost of all mystical books, Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, has become
a modern classic in its own right. Unlike previous translations, it
is founded not on the medieval commentaries but on a close study of
all the early Chinese literature, and it provides a singular
example of authoritative scholarship skillfully blended with
brilliant, precise writing. In his introduction, Dr. Waley gives an
extensive scholarly account of Chinese thought down to the end of
the third century B.C. Here, the author presents a full picture of
Chinese prehistory, early philosophy, and literature, showing the
original, lofty conception of Taoism before the gradual corruption
through the course of centuries, tracing this conflict of
philosophies and its background of politics.
