The Daode jing ("Book of the Dao and Its Virtue") is an essential
work in both traditional Chinese culture and world philosophy. The
oldest text of philosophical Daoism, and widely venerated among
religious Daoist practitioners, it was composed around the middle
of the 4th century BCE. Ascribed to a thinker named Laozi, a
contemporary of Confucius, the work is based on a set of aphorisms
designed to help local lords improve their techniques of
government. The most translated book after the Bible, the Daode
jing appears in numerous variants and remains highly relevant in
the modern world. This guide provides an overview of the text,
presenting its historical unfolding, its major concepts, and its
contemporary use. It also gives some indication of its essence by
citing relevant passages and linking them to the religious
practices of traditional Daoism.
