Wagner (Chinese studies, U. of Heidelberg, Germany) introduces a
reading of the Laozi which differs greatly from the many
translations currently available in the West, based on the work of
Wang Bi (226-249), who dashed off a commentary on the Laozi and
another on the Book of Changes -- two of the most enduring works of
Chinese philosophy -- before his death at age 23. Wagner explores
Wang Bi's craft as a scholarly commentator and as a philosopher in
his own right, situating his work in the context of other competing
commentaries.
