Tao Te Ching - A New Translation with Commentary by Ko Hsuan (Aleister Crowley)
Description
Second Hand / Antiquarian
Aleister Crowley's Tao Te Ching translation, presented under the name "Ko Hsuan," is a unique, mystical interpretation blending Lao Tzu's ancient wisdom with Crowley's Thelemic philosophy, emphasizing paradox and spiritual depth, using English texts as a base rather than original Chinese, and serving as a bridge to his own occult ideas while revealing profound insights into harmony, non-action (wu wei), and the universe's fundamental unity, often seen as a less shocking introduction to his complex world.
