Zhuangzi's Critique of the Confucians: Blinded by the Human
ISBN: 9781438462851 / Angielski / Twarda / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Daoist Zhuangzi has often been read as a mystical philosopher. But there is another tradition, beginning with the Han dynasty historian Sima Qian, which sees him as a critic of the Confucians. Kim-chong Chong analyzes the Inner Chapters of the Zhuangzi, demonstrating how Zhuangzi criticized the pre-Qin Confucians through metaphorical inversion and parody. This is indicated by the subtitle, "Blinded by the Human," which is an inversion of the Confucian philosopher Xunzi's remark that Zhuangzi was "blinded by heaven and did not know the human." Chong compares Zhuangzi's Daoist...

Michael explores the ways in which the text systematically anchored these techniques to a Dao-centered worldview. Including a new...

The Tao Teh King: The Tao and its Characteristics
ISBN: 9781511562102 / Angielski / Miękka / 38 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "The Tao is always nameless" (Chapter 71) Trying to narrow down the philosophy of the Tao Te Ching with limiting words is to violate its primordial essence. How can one describe the Universe, the natural order of things, the incessant flowing from being to non-being, the circular unity of a reality traditionally mismatched in dualistic terms? The Tao Te Ching doesn't provide answers because there needn't be questions, just the harmony of moulding to the landscape rather than trying to impose a particular shape on it. The Tao Te Ching is the route in itself, the path to emptying the human mind...

The Dao of Translation: An East-West Dialogue
ISBN: 9781138846562 / Angielski / Twarda / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Dao of Translation sets up an East-West dialogue on the nature of language and translation, and specifically on the "unknown forces" that shape the act of translation. To that end it mobilizes two radically different readings of the Daodejing (formerly romanized as the Tao Te Ching): the traditional "mystical" reading according to which the Dao is a mysterious force that cannot be known, and a more recent reading put forward by Sinologists Roger T. Ames and David L. Hall, to the effect that the Dao is simply the way things happen. Key to Ames and Hall's reading...
