The Canon of Reason and Virtue
Lao-the, translated by D.T. Suzuki & Paul Carus, 1974, Open Court, 206 pages with index, trade paperback. Chinese/English Edition
Very good condition, pages clean and bright, binding tight, cover faded with age.
The philosophy of Lao-Tze is consciously paradoxical and poetic: therapeutic and deconstructional rather than analytic. It offers a guide to practical action which verges on mysticism: how to exercise strength without needing to be strong, how to win by yielding. Lao-Tze's exhortation to act while not-acting or 'doing nothing' has astonished and fascinated Chinese and Westerners alike.
