About this ebook
This
edition goes beyond others that largely leave readers to their own
devices in understanding this cryptic work, by providing an entrée into
the text that parallels the traditional Chinese way of approaching it:
alongside Slingerland's exquisite rendering of the work are his
translations of a selection of classic Chinese commentaries that shed
light on difficult passages, provide historical and cultural context,
and invite the reader to ponder a range of interpretations. The ideal
student edition, this volume also includes a general introduction,
notes, multiple appendices--including a glossary of technical terms,
references to modern Western scholarship that point the way for further
study, and an annotated bibliography.
