Lao-tzu

    Laotse (chinesisch 老子, pinyin Lǎozi, Wade-Giles Lao Tzu; romanisiert auch als Lao Tse, Lao Tu, Lao-Tsu, Laotze, Laosi, Laocius und andere Varianten) ist eine der prominentesten Figuren der chinesischen Philosophie, deren historische Existenz ungewiss ist. Die chinesische Überlieferung ordnet sein Leben in das 6. Jahrhundert v. Chr. ein, viele moderne Sinologen verlegen sein Leben in das 4. Jahrhundert v. Chr. oder betrachten es als eine Zusammenstellung von Figuren mehrerer Philosophen aus diesen Epochen. Er ist der legendäre Begründer des Taoismus und Autor seiner grundlegenden Abhandlung Tao Te Ching.

      Tao Te King
    • Das 'Tao-Te-King' von Lao Tse, das Buch vom rechten Sinn und Weg, dürfte nach der Bibel das am weitesten verbreitete und meistübersetzte Buch sein. Die Alternativbewegung könnte bei Lao Tse manche Anregung oder Bestätigung finden. Er ist geradezu der Verkünder der Maxime 'small is beautiful' und eines einfachen Lebens. Die Hauptlehre: Lebe nicht nach außen, sondern nach innen.

      First published in 1934, this translation of Lao Tzu's Tao Tê Ching—unlike previous translations—is based not on the medieval commentaries, but on a close study of the whole of early Chinese literature. The Tao Tê Ching, along with the Zhuangzi, is a fundamental text for both philosophical and religious Taoism, and strongly influenced other schools, such as Legalism, Confucianism, and Chinese Buddhism. Many Chinese artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers, and even gardeners, have used the Tao Tê Ching as a source of inspiration. Its influence has also spread widely outside East Asia, and is among the most translated works in world literature.

      The Way and Its Power
    • Lao-tzu, the legendary sage of ancient China, is traditionally considered to be the author of the Tao Te Ching, one of the most popular classics of world literature. Now Lao-tzu's further teachings on the Tao, or Way, are presented here in the first English translation of the Chinese text known as the Wen-tzu. Although previously ignored by Western scholars, the Wen-tzu has long been revered by the Chinese as one of the great classics of ancient Taoism. In it, Lao-tzu shows that the cultivation of simplicity and spontaneity is essential to both the enlightened individual and the wise leader. This timeless work will appeal to a broad audience of contemporary readers who have come to consider Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching a classic on the art of living.
