Dao De Jing
Translated by Keping Wang
Ancient philosophy, both in China and in Greece, places self-knowledge at the center of the search for wisdom. Modern philosophers often misunderstand that way of thinking because they have detached the self from external things and separated it from nature and society. However, we cannot know ourselves apart from nature, society, and culture. The Dao De Jing exists on the border between poetry and philosophy, embracing both Mythos and Logos. Its poetic form can stand alone, but it is enriched when its timeless ideas are analyzed and explained through careful scholarship. This oral interpretation of the poem, read by Albert Anderson, is designed to accompany Keping Wang's book The Classic of the Dao: A New Investigation (Foreign Languages Press, Beijing, 1998).
