Rediscovering the Roots of Chinese Thought: Laozi's Philosophy is
an English translation of one of the most influential Chinese texts
on Daoism of the past century, written by Guying Chen, one of
China's foremost scholars of Daoist thought and the author of
annotated classical commentaries that serve as standard resources
in many Chinese universities. This book offers a unique discussion
of the Laozi, arguing-in contrast to standard Western
scholarship-that the text goes back to a single author and
identifying him as an older contemporary, and even teacher, of
Confucius. This places the Confucian Analects after the Laozi and
makes the text the most fundamental work of ancient Chinese
thought. Chen explores these debates regarding these points,
providing evidence based on materials excavated from Mawangdui and
Guodian. His book is fascinating documentation of contemporary
Chinese arguments and debates previously unavailable in English. It
is nothing less than a complete revision of the history of Chinese
thought with Daoism as its major focus.
