Tractatus Philosophicus Tao: A short treatise on the Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu

This little book is a playful and whimsical pastiche of Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus – inviting readers to savour the inspiration and instruction of Lao Tzu's classic of philosophical Taoism, the Tao Te Ching. By exploring the mysterious Tao and meditating on Lao Tzu's message, the Taoist Sage avoids excess, extremes, and extravagance, embracing the oneness of the Tao, becoming like an uncarved block, and returning to simplicity. The book is illustrated with pen and ink drawings.
