Характеристика Данни Брой страници: 224 Възраст до: 99 Възраст от: 20 Националност автор: Китай Пол: Жена, Мъж Размер см: 13 х 17 Тема: Философия No understanding of Chinese civilization is possible without a grasp of Taoism, the philosophy that has shaped not just Chinese spirituality but also art, science and politics. And it was in the `Tao Te Ching`, written around 300BC, that the fundamental beliefs of Taoism were first gathered.
This short, wise but very humble book went on to influence on philosophy, religion and politics. In a compellingly simple rhetorical style the book addresses how to live a simple, peaceful and harmonious life, how to rid oneself of desires and free society of institutions that promote greed.
With a new introduction that discusses the questioned authorship of the text and editorial notes, all 81 brief chapters are included, ranging from advice for politicians to wise words for the everyday person. Of immense influence across millennia, `Tao Te Ching` is a classic text richly deserving this handy pocket edition.
