Book Reviews of Tao Te Ching
Book Review: There are better translations
Summary: 2 Stars
The Tao Te Ching is a gem in human thought, yet there are much better versions. Mitchell's book isn't a translation, but an interpolation, which means that Mitchell, who doesn't speak Chinese and isn't a Taoist, compared other's translations and created his own version. To some extent, Mitchell's version may be helpful to those who are new to Taoism, yet it fails to capture the subtle grace and dance of the Taoist heart.
