Taoism and Chinese Religion

The Tao of the Tao Te Ching

by Michael LaFargue · Michael LaFargue (trans.)

A translation and commentary that rearranges the Tao Te Ching by theme and reads it as the teaching of a school of self-cultivation. LaFargue's hermeneutic approach emphasises the sayings' original social context.
