«Tao Te King» is Lao Tse's essay on Taoist philosophy, published by Ricardo Aguilera in paperback (93 pages, in Spanish).
Central work of Taoism attributed to Lao Tse, in which the Tao is presented as the natural principle that orders reality. It invites readers not to force outcomes or oppose what exists, but to understand and follow the spontaneous order; virtue or force (Te) arises from that harmony with the Tao.
The edition, 17 cm, belongs to the Orbe Collection, Monographs Series (no. 13), published in Madrid.
Recommended for readers interested in Eastern philosophy and classical Taoist texts, very much in line with Lao Tse's practical wisdom.
Laozi, was a legendary Chinese philosopher considered to be the author of the Tao Te Ching, one of the foundational texts of Taoism. Modern scholarship generally regards his biographical details as later inventions and his opus a collaboration of various writers, with the name Laozi, literally meaning 'Old Master', likely intended to portray an archaic anonymity that could converse with Confucianism. Traditional accounts addend him as Li Er, born in the 6th-century BC state of Chu during China's Spring and Autumn period. Serving as the royal archivist for the Zhou court at Wangcheng, he met and impressed Confucius on one occasion, composing the Dào Dé Jīng in a single session before retiring into the western wilderness.
