Summary

This book provides a unique interpretation of the Tao Te Ching, which is one of the most difficult books in Chinese philosophy. The new approach is based on a coherent philosophical framework, which is also reflected in modern sciences. This book represents a break-through in decoding the cryptic ancient Chinese text in the light of modern sciences; it is a non-speculative philosophical interpretation of the Tao Te Ching and has been recognized as a novel contribution to Tao philosophy and a consistent translation.

Author Biography

Wayne. L. Wang was born in Taiwan and migrated to the U.S. for his graduate studies in engineering, theoretical physics and nuclear engineering. After receiving his PhD degree from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in 1971, he has been a scientific researcher in Physics, Nuclear Engineering, and an engineer in Telecommunications. In 2004, Dr. Wang introduces a scientific process that formulates Tao Philosophy in consistent fashion, with a language-independent approach. By applying the conceptual model of modern sciences, he has successfully translated the most difficult Chinese classic, the Laotzu Tao Te Ching, with maximum coherency and consistency. In the process, he has revealed interesting similarities between Tao Philosophy and Quantum Cosmology. He has presented research papers in international conferences on Tao philosophy and is continuing his efforts in bringing out the common foundation of Taoism, Buddhism, Modern Sciences, and the Western Philosophy.
