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.
