About the event

Lecture: Getting to Know the Daodejing (the Book of Dao and Its Power) or the Laozi

During the more than 2,000 years of its existence a lot has been written and said about the Daodejing, which is supposed to present a teaching without words. Because it can be very hard to explain things without words, many Taoists and others have been trying to make sense of this relatively short book of a mere 5,000 characters. If you don't want to lose your way (Dao) in it, you need some background information. Against this background a number of themes play an important role in the Daodejing. Having studied the book, its history, and Taoist interpretations of it, Prof. Vercammen explains what the Daodejing can mean for a modern person.
