The books collected in this volume represent the first time since
the mid-nineteenth century that the four seminal masterworks of
ancient Chinese thought have been translated as a unified series by
a single translator. Hinton's award-winning experience translating
a wide range of ancient Chinese poets makes these books sing in
English as never before. But these new versions are not only
inviting and immensely readable, they also apply much-needed
consistency to key philosophical terms in these texts, lending
structural links and philosophical rigor heretofore unavailable in
English. Breathing new life into these originary classics, Hinton's
new translations will stand as the definitive texts for our era.
Perhaps the most broadly influential spiritual text in human
history, Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching is the source of Taoist philosophy,
which eventually developed into Ch'an (Zen) Buddhism. Equally
influential in the social sphere, Confucious' Analects is the
source of social wisdom in China. The Chuang Tzu is the wild and
wacky prose complement to the Tao Te Ching. And with its
philosophical story-telling, the Menicius adds depth and complexity
to Confucius' vision.
