No one can understand China or be an intelligent citizen of the world without some knowledge of the Lao Tzu, also called the Tao-te ching (The Classic of the Way and Its Virtue), for it has modified Chinese life and thought throughout history and has become an integral part of world literature. Therefore any new light on it, however little, should prove to be helpful. There have been many translations of this little classic, some of them excellent. Most translators have treated it as an isolated document. Many have taken it as religious literature. A few have related it to ancient Chinese philosophy. But none has viewed it in the light of the entire history of Chinese thought. Furthermore, no translator has consulted extensively the many commentaries regarding the text, much less the thought. Finally, no translator has written a complete commentary from the perspective of the total history of Chinese philosophy. Besides, a comprehensive and critical account of the recent debates on Lao Tzu the man and Lao Tzu the book is long overdue. The present work is a humble attempt to fill these gaps. This 1963 work is organized as follows: I. The Philosophy of Tao 1. Historical Background and the Taoist Reaction 2. The Meaning of Tao 3. The Emphasis on Man and Virtue 4. Weakness and Simplicity 5. Unorthodox Techniques 6. Lao Tzu and Confucius Compared 7. Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu Compared 8. Influences on Neo-Taoism, Buddhism, and Neo-Confucianism 9. The Taoist Religion 10. Taoism in Chinese Life II. Lao Tzu, the Man 1. Traditional Accounts 2. Lao Tzu’s Birthplace and Names 3. Lao Tzu’s Occupation 4. Confucius’ visit to Lao Tzu 5. Lao Lai Tzu and Lao P’eng 6. The Grand Historian 7. Summary and Conclusion III. Lao Tzu, the Book 1. Reactions Against Tradition 2. Arguments About Contemporary References 3. Arguments About Style 4. Arguments About Terminology 5. Arguments About Ideas 7. Titles and Structure 8. Commentaries 9. Translations The Lao Tzu (Tao-te ching)

In this convenient guide, several ancient, famous philosophers will be covered, so you may get a better understanding of the ancestors who have shaped our ideas and theories before we were born. Confucius has definitely left a mark on the world of Eastern philosophy. His ideas were revolutionary and impressive enough for people to follow him, record his works, and start a group of devoted followers. In the first chapter, more light will be shed on this. The second philosopher mentioned in this guide, is Aristotle, a sharp-minded, focused thinker who received a name with fame. His clinical examinations and his references to Plato and Socrates are known in Greek history. Third in line is a Chinese thinker named Lao-Tzu, a theorist of the pre-Confucian era who, although he was aware of the power of silence, made sure others knew of his view on life. His influence on Taoism was prevalent. Last but not least is Zeno, the creator of the Stoic School of philosophy in Athens, teaching that the Logos was the best thing to hold on to in life. His studies have rampantly been acknowledged by some of the greatest thinkers in European history. I invite you to take a closer look at these great men and their intricate ideas today.

HIS NAME WAS LI ERH- or, perhaps it was Li Tan. Regardless, in the English speaking world, we know him as Lao-Tzŭ, Laozi, or Lao-Tze . We also know him as the founder of the ancient Chinese doctrine Taoism and as the man who introduced the Western world to the concept of yin and yang, the dominant and opposite forces that create each other and everything else in the universe. Tao, usually translated as "the Way", is equated with Nature by the author of this text. Indeed, Lao-Tzŭ's purpose was to describe a Way for oneself to a state of perfect nature. Much is uncertain about the life of Lao-Tzŭ. Watters, in the first chapter, describes what is generally agreed upon and what is debated by scholars. Was he, as many scholars assume, the mentor of the young Confucius? In later chapters, Watters finds many similarities in their thought-but many more stark diversions. The second chapter deals with the scholarly debate during Watters time over the philosophy itself; the third, introduces the reader to the TAO TE CHING, a brief book ascribed to Lao-Tzŭ, but almost certainly written by a follower. Chapter IV is on overview of Lao-Tzŭ's teachings. Each of the following chapters describes a specific theme of Taoist thought: 5, Speculative Physics; 6, Politics; and 7, Ethics. Chapter VII deals with the important topic of the relationship between the two giants of ancient Chinese philosophy: Lao-Tzŭ and Confucius-their personal connections and their separate contributions. Watters concludes with a brief discussion of Lao-Tzŭ's place in the history of philosophy in different cultures and in the many centuries after his time.
