About the book

Traditionally attributed to Lao Tzu, the Tao Te Ching reflects on how to live and govern in harmony with the Tao, or Way. Its brief, often paradoxical passages question force, ambition and rigid certainty, favouring simplicity, humility and action that does not struggle against the nature of things. Images of water, emptiness and the uncarved block give abstract ideas a memorable form. Arthur Waley's translation and interpretation introduce a foundational work of Chinese philosophy whose reflections on power and balance continue to invite different readings.
