A number of features mark this book apart from others. There is
simply no book currently available on Daoism (Taoism) written
primarily from a psychological perspective, covering topics on
Laozi's sociopolitical and psychological thoughts and their points
of contact with Western psychology, particularly that of Carl Jung.
The book comprises an in-depth introduction and a considered
translation of Laozi's classic on virtue and the Dao (Way). The
introduction covers Daoism as the counterculture in China and
beyond; the originality and distinctiveness of Laozi's thoughts;
the classic's influence and contemporary relevance to life in the
21st century; and insights on bilingualism that the author gained
in the process of translation. The book contains the very first
English translation of the Beida Laozi (Peking University Laozi),
in which the chapters on virtue precede those on the Dao.
Accordingly, the classic is renamed The Classic of Virtue and the
Dao. The author has given his best to honor both accuracy and
poetic beauty by paying great attention to diction, clarity, and
economy of expression. The Classic of Virtue and the Dao is one of
the most creative and thought-provoking texts of antiquity. All of
the 77 chapters of the classic are categorized into 13 thematic
groups, each of which begins with an introduction. This would make
it easier for the reader to grasp its major viewpoints and
concepts, such as virtue, humility, and selflessness. Titles for
individual chapters, as well as comments and notes, have also been
added.
