Le Tao Te King, le Livre de la Voie et de la Vertu, écrit au VIe siècle avant J.-C. par Lao Tseu, est un classique de la sagesse chinoise et l'ouvrage fondateur du taoïsme. C'est un guide intemporel et indispensable à l'art de vivre. Sa figure centrale, le Maître, vit en harmonie avec le Tao, l'essence de l'univers. En nous y abandonnant, comme le Maître l'enseigne, nous pouvons ressentir l'accomplissement. En nous dépouillant du jugement et du désir, nous découvrons en nous les vérités universelles : quand rien ne nous manque, nous trouvons la paix ; si nous lâchons prise sur ce que nous aimons, notre amour devient réellement présent.

Stephen Mitchell nous en offre une nouvelle traduction, radicalement moderne, accessible et poétique, qui s'est imposée comme une référence.

A short but lasting document

4 stelle

I had an enjoyable week listening to the Tao Te Ching (道德經 in Traditional Chinese, lit. "Way Virtue Scripture"), Stephen Mitchell's 1989 audiobook version. Like many ancient writings, it has changed drastically since it was first "compiled" into 81 short chapters, around 250 BCE. I'll be researching more about the textual history of the book, particularly since the oldest version was found in 1993, after Mitchell's version was published.

As for the subject matter, "The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao." - Chapter 1, line 1. #TaoTeChing #DaoDeJing

Something I'll come back to more than once

4 stelle

I enjoyed this the first time through and expect to read it again. I'm also going to look at a few books that discuss the Tao Te Ching, so I can get a better idea of what's really going on here.

Regarding this translation, it's clear and easy to understand, but Mitchell doesn't hesitate to mention tractors, trucks, and nuclear warheads in the text of the Tao Te Ching, which really threw me off. I understand the motivation behind updating the text to make it relatable to a modern audience, but I think he took a little too much artistic license.
