Publisher Synopsis
"This work is an invaluable resource for especially (but not only) those non-specialists who teach the Daode Jing. The essays offer materials that address very practical issues in teaching this influential and elusive text. Even more important, they display a rich variety of sometimes contending perspectives on the best approaches to it. A rich collection, then, and one that is both accessible and can serve many different needs." --Lee H. Yearley, Walter Y. Evans-Wentz Professor of Oriental Philosophies, Religions, and Ethics, Stanford University
"This rich and multifaceted volume superbly addresses the increasing interest among students and teachers in the West regarding fruitful avenues for understanding and teaching the Daode Jing. The authors represent a wide variety of distinct perspectives and blend intellectual gravitas with playful humility and wit in a manner which so engages the reader that the book is hard to put down. Teaching the Daode Jing is that rare phenomenon among academic books: an anthology in which all of the different chapters harmonize beautifully with one another and in the process produce a scholarly contribution which one will want to return to and reread again and again." --Dennis Shirley, Professor of Education, Lynch School of Education, Boston College
