Description
A Chinese Reading of the Daodejing: Wang Bi's Commentary on the Laozi with Critical Text and Translation by Rudolf G. Wagner. This book presents a unique interpretation of the Laozi, one that has been shaped by the commentary of Wang Bi, a third-century philosopher who sought to unlock the text's meaning. Through a full translation of Wang Bi's Commentary and his essay on "subtle pointers", Wagner provides a fresh perspective on the Daodejing. Wagner's work is part of a trilogy exploring Wang Bi's philosophy and classical studies, offering a comprehensive understanding of this influential thinker's ideas. This book will be of interest to those seeking a nuanced reading of the Laozi and its significance in Chinese thought.
