About
The Tao Te Ching is a foundational book of Taoism, a major influence in East Asian culture and a thought-provoking counterpoint to Western philosophy.
The book is short, but enigmatic. We suggest reading it in conjunction with discussions of its meaning. Since there is no single accepted interpretation, we suggest browsing the discussions of Tao Te Ching in Quora to get a sense for how ordinary people find value in the work today.
