This enigmatic scripture is attributed to the mysterious sage Lao Tze, who is believed to have lived in the sixth century BCE. In the present translation by religious scholar Paul Carus, the title is presented as The Canon of Reason and Virtue, and in the body of the text Carus renders the word usually translated as “Tao” as “reason.” This book is an extract from the author’s larger work, Lao-Tze’s Tao Teh King. The latter contained an historical introduction, the Chinese text, a transliteration, explanatory notes and an index, including the Chinese terms.

Das TAO TE KING ist unterteilt in die Spruchgedichte 1-37, die sich mit dem TAO und seiner Natur befassen, und 38-81, die vom TE, dem Leben in seinen vielfältigen Ausprägungen handeln. Die von Lao Tse zu einem Punkt der Zeitenwende in der chinesischen Geschichte verfassten Spruchgedichte beinhalten hochkonzentriert die Weisheit seiner Zeit und stehen im Widerspruch zum aufkeimenden Konfuzianismus mit seinen strengen Moralregeln.
