The Eternal Tao Te Ching - Hoff Benjamin
From the bestselling author of The Tao of Pooh, a uniquely authentic translation of the enduring Tao Te Ching based on the meanings of the ancient Chinese characters in use when the Taoist classic was written From Benjamin Hoff, the author of The Tao of Pooh and The Te of Piglet, which have sold millions of copies, comes a new translation of the Tao Te Ching. The original author (or authors, as Hoff makes the provocative claim that there may have been more than one) streamlined the folk religion of China down to its foundation and rebuilt it as a man-in-nature philosophy, incorporating his advanced spiritual, philosophical, social, and political ideas. Ever since its creation, the Tao Te Ching has stood alone among the world's writings. There was nothing like it before it appeared, and there is still nothing like it now. Unlike a good deal of Chinese writing, old and new, the Tao Te Ching makes no reference to specific individuals or events, whether of the then-past or then-present. It is not historical, nor classical; its world is the world of now. Laboring over the ancient text for seven years, Hoff tackled this project by following the same principles he learned while employed by a master restorer of valuable but damaged antique objects: Thoroughly research the history of the object; remove all misguided, historically incorrect alterations and repairs; patch and fill where necessary; match the new work to the old so seamlessly that no one will detect a difference in treatment; honor the materials and its design; and honor the tradition that has formed around the object over the years. This unique interpretation of the Tao Te Ching shows what is possible when a translator truly partners themselves with someone of another time, another place, and another language.

Tao: The Watercourse Way - Alan Watts
Following Alan Watts'' acclaimed book on Zen Buddhism The Way of Zen, he tackles the Chinese philosophy of Tao. The Tao is the way of man''s cooperation with the natural course of the natural world. Alan Watts takes the reader through the history of Tao and its interpretations by key thinkers such as Lao-Tzu, author of the Tao Te Ching. Watts goes on to demonstrate how the ancient and timeless Chinese wisdom of Tao promotes the idea of following a life lived according to the natural world and goes against our goal-oriented ideas by allowing time to quiet our minds and observe the world rather than imposing ourselves on it. By taking in some of the lessons of Tao, we can change our attitude to the way we live. Drawing on ancient and modern sources, Watts treats the Chinese philosophy of Tao in much the same way as he did Zen Buddhism in his classic The Way of Zen. Including an introduction to the Chinese culture that is the foundation of the Tao, this is one of Alan Watts'' best-loved works.

The Tradition of Natural Taoism - Jason Gregory
A comprehensive exploration and restoration of Taoism’s original teaching• Draws on source texts of the Tao Te Ching and the Chuang-tzu for ways to achieve skills effortlessly through unity with the Tao• Explains how Taoism is a spiritual technology for deprogramming ourselves from socialization and dissolving the ego• Explores concepts of wu-wei (nonaction) and xiaoyao you (free and easy wandering in oneness) in order to realize our unfiltered true natureThe author provides a comprehensive exploration and restoration of Taoism’s original teaching, giving readers a fresh take on this ancient philosophy of oneness.By returning to the source texts of the Tao Te Ching and the Chuang-tzu, Jason shows how to gain skills effortlessly through alignment with the Tao and overcome the limitations of reason. Since Lao-tzu and Chuang-tzu, Taoists have navigated a world detached from the Tao. This detachment continues to expand due to external forces and materialism. Taoism is a means to break free from imposed socialization, liberating us from the suffering inherent in a society built upon ideologies and materialism. In contrast to Confucianism, which offers social morality, Taoism is a spiritual technology for deprogramming ourselves from socialization and reactions of the ego. Jason shows that such programming can impede the spontaneous flow that is central to this path. Like other non-dual systems, Taoism seeks to dissolve identity so the undifferentiated nature of the Tao can make full use of the liberated being. We reconnect with the Tao by dissolving the binaries of reason and achieving xiaoyao you, “free and easy wandering in oneness,” which is the final teaching on the Taoist path. This book shows the way to become what Taoists call a Zhenren—an authentic person or enlightened sage.The Tradition of Natural Taoism offers wisdom to liberate us from the suffering inherent in a materialistic culture and reconnect us with our unfiltered true nature.

"It's hard to be brave,' said Piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal."Rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "It is because you are a very small animal that you will be useful in the adventure before us."Winnie-the-Pooh has a certain way about him, a way of doing things that has made him the world's most beloved bear, and Pooh's Way, as Benjamin Hoff brilliantly demonstrates, seems strangely close to the ancient Chinese principles of Taoism. And as for Piglet, he embodies the very important principle of Te, meaning Virtue of the Small. Benjamin Hoff's explanations of Taoism and Te through Pooh and Piglet show that this is not an ancient and remote philosophy but something that you can use, here and now.An utterly unique book which makes complex concepts accessible with a little help from Pooh and his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood. Pooh may be a Bear of Very Little Brain but there are lessons to be learned from his approach to life. Beautifully decorated by E.H.Shepard.

Tajné učení Tao te ťing - Mantak Chia, Tao Chuang
Již více než dva a půl tisíc let je Tao-te-ťing, základní spis laoismu a taoismu, považován za jeden z největších pokladů světa. Lao-c', jehož jméno znamená "staré dítě", napsal verše, které jsou pro některé lidi těžko pochopitelné, jiné uvádějí v úžas, avšak v každém případě jsou pro lidstvo požehnáním. Taoističtí mistři Mantak Chia a Tao Chuang objasňují čtenářům kořeny této filozofie i způsob života dávné Číny. Ačkoli je text Tao-te-ťing už celá staletí předáván z generace na generaci v literární formě, jeho esenciální podstatu lze pochopit pouze prostřednictvím probuzeného srdce - skrze opravdovou integraci těla a mysli.

Kafka's Last Trial: The Case of a Literary Legacy - Benjamin Balint
The story of the international struggle to preserve Kafka's literary legacy. Kafka's Last Trial begins with Kafka's last instruction to his closest friend, Max Brod: to destroy all his remaining papers upon his death. But when the moment arrived in 1924, Brod could not bring himself to burn the unpublished works of the man he considered a literary genius?even a saint. Instead, Brod devoted his life to championing Kafka's writing, rescuing his legacy from obscurity and physical destruction. The story of Kafka's posthumous life is itself Kafkaesque. By the time of Brod's own death in Tel Aviv in 1968, Kafka's major works had been published, transforming the once little-known writer into a pillar of literary modernism. Yet Brod left a wealth of still-unpublished papers to his secretary, who sold some, held on to the rest, and then passed the bulk of them on to her daughters, who in turn refused to release them. An international legal battle erupted to determine which country could claim ownership of Kafka's work: Israel, where Kafka dreamed of living but never entered, or Germany, where Kafka's three sisters perished in the Holocaust? Benjamin Balint offers a gripping account of the controversial trial in Israeli courts-brimming with dilemmas legal, ethical, and political?that determined the fate of Kafka's manuscripts. Deeply informed, with sharply drawn portraits and a remarkable ability to evoke a time and place, Kafka's Last Trial is at once a brilliant biographical portrait of a literary genius, and the story of two countries whose national obsessions with overcoming the traumas of the past came to a head in a hotly contested trial for the right to claim the literary legacy of one of our modern masters.

The King's Assassin - Benjamin Woolley
Now a major TV series, Mary & George, starring Julianne Moore and Nicholas Galitzine.The King’s Assassin is the scandalous story of George Villiers, lover – and murderer – of King James I.The rise of George Villiers from minor gentry to royal power seemed to defy gravity. Becoming gentleman of the royal bedchamber in 1615, the young gallant enraptured James, Britain’s first Stuart king, royal adoration reaching such an intensity that the king declared he wanted the courtier to become his ‘wife’. For a decade, Villiers was at the king’s side – at court, on state occasions and in bed, right up to James’s death in March 1625.Almost immediately, Villiers’ many enemies accused him of poisoning the king. A parliamentary investigation was launched, but the charges came to nothing, and were relegated to a historical footnote.Now, new historical scholarship suggests that a deadly combination of hubris and vulnerability did indeed drive Villiers to kill the man who made him. It may have been by accident, but there is compelling evidence that Villiers, overcome by ambition and frustrated by James’s passive approach to government, poisoned him.In The King’s Assassin, acclaimed author Benjamin Wooley examines this remarkable, even tragic story. Combining vivid characterization and a strong narrative with historical scholarship and forensic investigation, Woolley tells the story of King James’s death, and of the captivating figure at its centre. What emerges is a compelling portrait of a royal favourite whose charisma overwhelmed those around him and, ultimately, himself.

The Women Are Up to Something - Benjamin J. Bruxvoort Lipscomb
The story of four remarkable women who shaped the intellectual history of the 20th century: Elizabeth Anscombe, Philippa Foot, Mary Midgley, and Iris Murdoch.On the cusp of the Second World War, four women went to Oxford to begin their studies: a fiercely brilliant Catholic convert; a daughter of privilege longing to escape her stifling upbringing; an ardent Communist and aspiring novelist with a list of would-be lovers as long as her arm; and a quiet, messy lover of newts and mice who would become a great public intellectual of our time. They became lifelong friends. At the time, only a handful of women had ever made lives in philosophy. But when Oxford''s men were drafted in the war, everything changed.As Elizabeth Anscombe, Philippa Foot, Mary Midgley, and Iris Murdoch labored to make a place for themselves in a male-dominated world, as they made friendships and families, and as they drifted toward and away from each other, they never stopped insisting that some lives are better than others. They argued that courage and discernment and justice--and love--are the heart of a good life.This book presents the first sustained engagement with these women''s contributions: with the critique and the alternative they framed. Drawing on a cluster of recently opened archives and extensive correspondence and interviews with those who knew them best, Benjamin Lipscomb traces the lives and ideas of four friends who gave us a better way to think about ethics, and ourselves.

The Eternal Husband: New Translation - Fyodor Dostoevsky
During a stifling St Petersburg summer, the rich landowner Velchaninov is haunted by the figure of a man he keeps glimpsing in the street. When he receives a surprise visit from him late at night, he realizes he is an old friend, Trusotsky, whose late wife, Natalya, was his secret lover. As the two men renew their acquaintance, Velchaninov becomes aware that Trusotsky’s child is, in fact, his own daughter. From then on, the destinies of the two old friends become intertwined as they engage – at turns repelled and attracted by each other – in a dangerous game of cat and mouse that will lead to a final dramatic confrontation.Compelling, gripping, darkly humorous, The Eternal Husband – composed by the author at the peak of his writing powers, between The Idiot and Devils, and described by Dostoevsky’s biographer Joseph Frank as “a small masterpiece†– shows Dostoevsky at his best as a ruthless dissector of the quirks and foibles of the human character.

The Pauline Book and the Dilemma of Ephesians - Reverend Dr. Benjamin J. Petroelje
Benjamin J. Petroelje argues that how one reads Ephesians is a function of deeper questions about how to read the Pauline book. Petroelje suggests the contemporary consensus—that Ephesians depicts development of/away from the “real Paulâ€â€”is largely a construct of modern criticism, rooted in shifting strategies about how to read a letter collection that developed in the 19th-century.Using Ephesians 3:1-13 as a point of analysis, Petroelje theorizes that the text’s “image of Paul†not only anticipates recent revisionist interpretations of Paul’s Jewish identity and gentile gospel, but also holds together tensions in the collection itself surrounding these questions. By analysing ancient letter collections beside their own hermeneutical priorities, and applying this method to the late-antique and modern reception of the corpus Paulinum, Petroelje is able to historicize the origins of the split of Paul''s corpus, revealing the constructed nature of the critical consensus on Ephesians and the effect that such modern reading strategies have on interpreting the letter. Urging a return to reading Ephesians alongside Pauline co-texts, Petroelje advocates for Ephesians as a crucial source for the study of Paul, whether Paul wrote it or not.

Tao te ťing: O tajemství hlubším než hlubina sama (978-80-7363-937-2)
Kniha - autor Lao-c´; Václav Cílek, 104 stran, česky, pevná s přebalem lesklá Kniha Tao te-ťing představuje jednu ze základních knih světa a hlavní zdroj čínského malířství a poezie. V roce 1973 byly v hrobce Ma-wang-tuej odkryty na hedvábných svitcích nejstarší známé texty knihy, ale ke skutečné senzaci došlo v roce 1993, kdy byl v jiné hrobce Kuo-tien vykopán text Taa někdy z roku 350 před Kristem. Nález má stejný význam, jako měly kumránské svitky pro biblická studia. Tento překlad se vrací ke starému, syrovému Tau. Je silné, archaické a podivné. Každá kapitola knihy je doprovázena stručným komentářem literáta Wang-Piho ze 3. století po Kristu.

Čínský mudrc Tao - Jan Lípa, Michal Štěpánek, Josef Štětka, Kateřina Marounková
Nově ilustrovaná reedice dnes již téměř zapomenutého skvostu, který inicioval vstup na duchovní cestu řadě hledačům a to nejen v okruhu žáků Fráni Drtikola, kde se šířila formou samizdatu. Ve staré Číně učil nejvznešenější náboženské filosofii mudrc Lao-c'. Kniha "Tao te ťing" (Kniha o Božství a cnosti), kterou napsal kolem roku 600 př. n. l., je jedním z nejobdivuhodnějších filosofických děl posledních tisíciletí, které vyniká nad jiná také svou jednoduchostí výrazu. Názory i city myslitele, který se s pravým pochopením pohroužil do hlubin a krás Lao-c'ova spisu a který jeho rázu přizpůsobil své představy o Bohu, umění a lásce, jsou vylíčeny v rámci následujícího prostého vypravování. Mnohý pozorný čtenář nalezne v této knize jasné rozhledy a širé obzory, které dosud bezvýsledně hledal. Kniha je rozdělena na tři rozhovory. V prvním učí poznávati žáka všade a ve všem "Tao", jakožto prapříčinu všeho "bytí". V dalších rozhovorech, "Umění" a "Láska" učí se poznávati žák harmonii, která vládne celým vesmírem i vlastní nedostatky, které mu překáží ve sjednocení se s "Taem".
