Grounded in a lifetime of research and interpretive work and
informed by careful study of recent archaeological discoveries of
alternate versions of the text, Brook Ziporyn, one of the
preeminent explicators of Eastern religions in English, brings us a
revelatory new translation-and a radical reinterpretation-of the
central text of Taoist thought. Ziporyn offers an alternative to
the overly comforting tone of so many translations, revealing
instead the electrifying strangeness and explosively unsettling
philosophical implications of this famously ambiguous work. In
Ziporyn's hands, this is no mere "wisdom book" of anodyne
affirmations or mildly diverting brain-teasers-this pathbreaking
Daodejing will forever change how the text is read and understood
in the West.
