Dao De Jing: a Process Perspective

Dao De Jing: a Process Perspective - Hank Keeton

Dao De Jing: a Process Perspective


DaoDeJing serves as one of the two foundational sources for Chinese culture. Other societies have tried to understand this collection of wisdom-metaphors, usually superimposing their own assumptions on this unique tradition. This 21st-century translation of the ancient Chinese wisdom-metaphors of DaoDeJing has been influenced by previous English translations, yet it radically departs from them. 19th century English grammar-syntax-semantics proposed extremely limited ranges of meanings for the Chinese characters. This work seeks to update and modernize contemporary meanings and bonds between European and Chinese cultures, and their languages. Using the interpreting lens of Alfred North Whitehead's philosophy of organism, commonly known as "process philosophy," DaoDeJing: a Process Perspective explores multiple layers, meanings, and values underlying ancient Chinese culture. For more than 4,000-years, these meanings have created the fabric of a growing contemporary influence in politics and economics. Western thinkers are just beginning to appreciate their nuances and profound importance. This new, organic translation seeks to answer a series of epistemological-cosmological questions starting with, "What's happening here?" From the perspective of "events," rather than "objects-with-characteristics," it explores subtle yet profound meanings by focusing on the "action" occurring between and among the Chinese characters. Where normative definitions have been accepted routinely by scholars, this work investigates the deeper relationships operating within the structure of the wisdom-metaphors, individually and collectively. This scholarship makes bold suggestions for ethical-living and social-governance, providing opportunities for engagement between two quite different cultures and civilizations. It also presents a constructive alternative to the current Western model of competing-dominating-exploiting. DaoDeJing promotes cooperating between "contrasts," dynamically-transforming those contrasts into a harmonious balance. This function is quite different from the standard Western model of "compromise," where each component of the "contrast" experiences no real fulfillment, instead settling for something deemed hierarchically inferior. The dynamic-transforming of DaoDeJing yields a creative advance for all contrasting elements. It is not a "zero-sum" contest. It is an Endlessly-Creating series of dynamically-transforming processes. DaoDeJing offers a profound
