The Four Chinese Classics: Tao Te Ching, Chuang Tzu, Analects, Mencius The Four Chinese Classics: Tao Te Ching, Chuang Tzu, Analects, Mencius
Discover 4 seminal masterworks of Chinese thought--Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, the Analects of Confucius, the Chuang Tzu, and the Mencius--presented in one volume for the first time in nearly 2 centuries.

Award-winning translator David Hinton offers fresh insights on the most influential texts on Taoism, Zen Buddhism, Chinese philosophy, and more.

Hinton's award-winning experience translating a wide range of ancient Chinese poets makes these books sing in English as never before. But these new versions are not only inviting and immensely readable--they also apply much-needed consistency to key philosophical terms in these texts, lending structural links and philosophical rigor heretofore unavailable in English. Breathing new life into these classics, Hinton's new translations will stand as the definitive texts for our era.

Perhaps the most broadly influential spiritual text in human history, Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching is the source of Taoist philosophy, which eventually developed into Ch'an (Zen) Buddhism. Equally influential in the social sphere, Confucius' Analects is the source of social wisdom in China. The Chuang Tzu is the wild and wacky prose complement to the Tao Te Ching. And with its philosophical storytelling, the Mencius adds depth and complexity to Confucius' vision.
