This is an introductory guide to the Dao de Jing, exploring key
themes and passages in this key work of Daoist thought. The Dao De
Jing represents one of the most important works of Chinese
philosophy, in which the author, Lao Zi (c. 580-500 BC), lays the
foundations of Taoism. Composed of 81 short sections, the text
itself is written in a poetic style that is ambiguous and
challenging for the modern reader. Yet while its meaning may be
obscure, the text displays the originality of Lao Zi's wisdom and
remains a hugely influential work to this day. In "Reading the Dao:
A Thematic Inquiry", Wang Keping offers a clear and accessible
guide to this hugely important text. Wang's thematic approach opens
up key elements of the Dao De Jing in a way that highlights and
clarifies the central arguments for the modern reader. Presenting
comprehensive textual analysis of key passages and a useful survey
of recent Taoist scholarship, the book provides the reader with an
insight into the origins of Taoist philosophy. This is the ideal
companion to the study of this classic Taoist text.
