"De Chineesche Filosofie, Toegelicht voor niet-Sinologen, II. Lao Tsz'" by Henri Borel is a scholarly exploration of Chinese philosophy, specifically focusing on the teachings of Lao Tsz, likely written in the late 19th century. This work aims to make the complex ideas of Lao Tsz accessible to readers without a deep background in Chinese studies, highlighting the challenges and unique nature of interpreting classical Chinese texts. It delves into the fundamental principles of Lao Tsz’s philosophy, such as the concept of Tao and the nature of virtue (Teh), asserting their relevance and importance. The opening of the text serves as an introduction to both the author’s intentions and the philosophical concepts to be discussed. It emphasizes the difficulties involved in translating Chinese classical works due to the idiographic nature of the language and critiques how prior translations may have created misunderstandings about Lao Tsz's teachings. Borel expresses a desire to present Lao Tsz’s philosophy—rooted in simplicity, humility, and a deep understanding of nature—in a more relatable way, specifically for a Western audience. The foundation is set for a comprehensive study that promises to unpack the profound wisdom embedded in the "Tao Teh King," encouraging readers to engage with these ancient ideas in a modern context.
