This book shows the interpretations and translations of the whole Tao Te Ching to emphasize the consistent logic of Lao-tzu. It is the first time that this logic structure of Lao-tzu becomes exposed. New introductory summary is added to each Chapter in the second edition so that the terse Chapters can be consistently related to the principle of Tao.We have discussed Lao-tzu's logic structure in Part I. This logic is consistent with the ancient Greek and the Western universal logic. The thoughts discussed in the so-called Chinese traditional Taoism are not the original philosophy of Lao-tzu. Therefore, the logic reflected in this book represents a restoration of the true philosophy of Lao-tzu.
The purpose of this book is to restore the logical system of Laozi 老子. We analyze the Tao Te Ching, or the Sutra of Tao and Te. and eliminate the errors introduced by Chinese Taoism. The result is that the philosophy of Laozi is not uniquely Chinese, but is a universal philosophy, consistent with the Greek, Western, and Buddhism philosophy.Traditional Taoism has a deep influence on society, it lets us accept fuzzy thinking and lose the correct principle of thinking. This book shows that the Sutra can be freed from the influence of Taoism and shows the true Laozi's philosophy.Because the hypothesis introduced by Wang Bi of the Pro-Wu group seriously distorts Laozi's basic thinking logic, so the Sutra cannot show consistent logic. This is due to a series of historical confusion. Since ancient times, China has considered logical thinking to be an act of "fooling and confusing people", so it does not pay attention to logic. Historical scholars often use the Sutra to come up with an interpretation, coupled with their observations, and show a special vision and thus express the mystery of Laozi's thoughts. In the age of the Chinese monarchy, this has never been a social problem.
