Description
This translation presents Daoism's basic text in highly readable contemporary English. Incorporating the latest scholarship in the field, including the most recent discoveries of ancient manuscripts in the 1970s and '90s, the book explains Daodejing's often cryptic verses in a clear and concise way.
The introduction interprets the Daodejing's poetic imagery in the context of ancient Chinese symbolism, and a brief philosophical analysis accompanies each of the 81 translated chapters of the Daodejing.

The Moral Fool
Justice, equality, and righteousness—these are some of our greatest moral convictions. Yet in times of social conflict, morals can become rigid, making religious war, ethnic cleansing, and political purges possible. Morality, therefore, can be viewed as pathology—a rhetorical, psychological, and social tool that is used and abused as a weapon. An expert on Eastern philosophies and social systems theory, Hans-Georg...Paperback$5499Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
The Enigma of Gender
Current debates about gender identity are fraught with contradictions. Even as we increasingly recognise gender as an assigned category or social convention, we still see it as inherent to who we are, fundamental to our sense of self. But the quest to find one's true self is unfulfillable. How can we find alternatives to the focus on getting our identity...Paperback$5199Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
You and Your Profile
More and more, we present ourselves and encounter others through profiles. A profile shows us not as we are seen directly but how we are perceived by a broader public. As we observe how others observe us, we calibrate our self-presentation accordingly. Profile-based identity is evident everywhere from pop culture to politics, marketing to morality. But all too often critics...Paperback$5699Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
