Tao Te Ching Chapter 01 The Tao and Names 道与名
Update: 2024-11-09
Description
This Chapter is a Taoist commentary on the Tao Te Ching, specifically focusing on the concepts of "Tao" (道) and "Ming" (名). It argues that the true Tao, representing the fundamental reality before all things, is inexpressible and beyond human language. Similarly, true names, existing before the creation of the universe, are also intangible. The text contrasts these primordial states with human attempts to name and describe reality, highlighting the limitations of human perception and the importance of a clear, desire-free mind to grasp true understanding. Ultimately, it emphasizes the mystery and unknowability of the Tao.
