Publisher's Synopsis
David Hinton offers here a definitive contemporary English version of Lao Tzu's 'Tao Te Ching'. Revealing startling new dimensions in this widely-influential text, he shows how Lao Tzu's spirituality is structured around the generative life-force, and argues that this system of thought weaves the human into natural process at the deepest levels of being, thereby revealing the 'Tao Te Ching' as an originary text in deep feminist and ecological thought.
