A picture I took of the pages I opened when grabbing the book. Alt Text created by Gemini; A close-up, top-down view of an open book titled "The Daodejing of Laozi," translated by Philip J. Ivanhoe. The pages shown are Chapter 67, which discusses the "three treasures" (loving-kindness, frugality, and humility), and Chapter 68, about the "virtue of noncontention." In the background, a bookshelf holds various titles including "Lord of the Flies" and "25 Eeuwen Westerse Filosofie."
A picture I took of the cover of the book “The Daodejing of Laozi” Alt Text created by Gemini: The front cover of the book "The Daodejing of Laozi," featuring translation and commentary by Philip J. Ivanhoe. The cover has a tan, textured background with a traditional Chinese ink wash painting of a mountain landscape and small red seal stamps in the corner.
