Description

Although translations and interpretations of the Tao te Ching abound and new editions are released yearly, few accomplish the hard work of linking and bridging the Tao's profound message to the needs of modern readers. There may be a profusion of versions, but our lives and our world reflect little of the deep, transformative potential of this important text. Marc S. Mullinax's new translation grows from extensive teaching experience and combines a deep understanding of the Tao's fourth-century BCE Chinese context with an exciting two-part application of that text to contemporary life. First, each of the eighty-one verses is joined by a richly curated array of quotes, sayings, poems, and stories from wisdom traditions around the globe. With quotes ranging from Emerson to Pink Floyd, and from the apostle Paul to Margaret Atwood, the Tao's meaning comes alive in conversation with others. Second, a brief reflection puts the verse in historical context and highlights the transformative power of Wu-Wei, the non-interfering action, perfectly timed, to promote peace and prevent injury, to bring joy and justice to a hurting world. project_muse_82978-2839156 project_muse_82978-2839157 project_muse_82978-2839158 project_muse_82978-2839160 project_muse_82978-2839161 project_muse_82978-2839162 project_muse_82978-2839163 project_muse_82978-2839164 project_muse_82978-2841441 project_muse_82978-2841442 project_muse_82978-2841443 project_muse_82978-2841444 project_muse_82978-2841445 project_muse_82978-2841446 project_muse_82978-2841447 project_muse_82978-2841448 project_muse_82978-2841449 project_muse_82978-2841450 project_muse_82978-2841451 project_muse_82978-2841452 project_muse_82978-2841453 project_muse_82978-2841454 project_muse_82978-2841455 project_muse_82978-2841456 project_muse_82978-2841457 project_muse_82978-2841458 project_muse_82978-2841459 project_muse_82978-2841460 project_muse_82978-2841461 project_muse_82978-2841462 project_muse_82978-2841463 project_muse_82978-2841464 project_muse_82978-2841465 project_muse_82978-2841466 project_muse_82978-2841467 project_muse_82978-2841468 project_muse_82978-2841469 project_muse_82978-2841470 project_muse_82978-2841471 project_muse_82978-2841472 project_muse_82978-2841473 project_muse_82978-2841474 project_muse_82978-2841475 project_muse_82978-2841476 project_muse_82978-2841477 project_muse_82978-2841478 project_muse_82978-2841479 project_muse_82978-2841480 project_muse_82978-2841481 project_muse_82978-2841482 project_muse_82978-2841483 project_muse_82978-2841484 project_muse_82978-2841485 project_muse_82978-2841486 project_muse_82978-2841487 project_muse_82978-2841488 project_muse_82978-2841489 project_muse_82978-2841490 project_muse_82978-2841491 project_muse_82978-2841492 project_muse_82978-2841493 project_muse_82978-2841494 project_muse_82978-2841495 project_muse_82978-2841496 project_muse_82978-2841497 project_muse_82978-2841498 project_muse_82978-2841499 project_muse_82978-2841500 project_muse_82978-2841501 project_muse_82978-2841502 project_muse_82978-2841503 project_muse_82978-2841505 project_muse_82978-2841506 project_muse_82978-2841507 project_muse_82978-2841508 project_muse_82978-2841509 project_muse_82978-2841510 project_muse_82978-2841511 project_muse_82978-2841512 project_muse_82978-2841513 project_muse_82978-2841514 project_muse_82978-2841515 project_muse_82978-2841516 project_muse_82978-2841517 project_muse_82978-2841518 project_muse_82978-2841519 project_muse_82978-2841520
