This is a translation and study of the early Daoist classic the Laozi or Daodejing. Philip Ivanhoe offers a substantial Introduction in which he explores some of the major philosophical themes of the text. The translation includes numerous notes which direct the reader to related passages within the Daodejing and to other texts of the period. Ivanhoe also provides notes which explain the philosophical issues at play in the text and relate these to contemporary issues in philosophy. A unique feature of this work is its Language Appendix with eight translations of the opening passage of the text representing the work of well-known and influential scholars, and explains, line-by-line, how each might have reached their particular interpretation. The Appendix illustrates that differences in translation often represent grammatically and semantically plausible readings inviting readers to gain a better sense of the translating process.
