The Dé of Laozi: A Fresh Look Based on Bronze Inscription Glyphs
re-visions chapters 38-81 of the
Dào Dé Jīng
by exploring the pictorial scripts of
Laozi's
era. Like its companion volume,
The Dào of Laozi
, this version adds useful layers for students of the Dào who enjoy comparing classic translations, and it evokes a dreamy state for readers who like to imagine what kinds of experiences Laozi had or intended to create in the reader when drawing these characters by hand more than 2,500 years ago. This 2nd Edition includes a chapter, line, character indexing system that allows easy reference to the full glossary.
