The Tao Te Ching (
dow de jing) was written by
Lao Tzu, probably about the 5th
Century B.C. and
approximately at the time of
Confucius. The title can be
translated various ways, "
The Book of the Way," "
The Book of the Way and Its Power," "
A Book about the Way and the Power of the Way," and so on.
The two translations I personally own and like are the Gia-Fu Feng and Jane English translation and the Ursula K. Le Guin translation. I was going to put them both up chapter by chapter, but I think there are some copyright issues. I did find an "interpolation" online by Peter Merel which is available* under the GPL, and I am in the process of putting that into the chapter nodes.
