Lao Tse (Chinese 老子) also known as Laozi, according to tradition lived around China adc sixth century although many historians prefer to place it in the fourth century BC, during the Hundred Schools of Thought and Warring States, when much more conducive to the birth of who would be considered the father of Taoism, as the author of Tao Te Ching.
Almost nothing is known about historical form of life of Lao Tse. Its very existence and authorship of the Dao De Jing are the subject of debate among historians. We can therefore simply recount the legend that Lao Tse was born under a plum tree in a village in the Prefecture of Ku (苦 县) in the state of Cho (楚) [now district Luyi (鹿邑)] in the province of Henan, during the Spring and Autumn Period, and was named Li Er, ears plum (The name Lao Tse or Lao Zi is honorary. Lao means venerable or old, Zi is a term of respect that is usually added to the name of venerable teachers, and Laozi could mean the Old Maestro). Another legend says that the gestation of Lao Tse needed 81 years (as many chapters has the Dao De Jing) and was born with white hair, wrinkles on the face and big ears. Traditionally
their works included in Sima Qian, Lao Tse have been a contemporary of Confucius (Kongzi), but older than him, and had worked as an archivist in the Imperial Library of the Zhou Dynasty (1126-256 adc). Confucius and Lao Tse were found in Zhou, near modern Luoyang, and debated for months about the ritual and the right, the pillars of Confucianism. Lao Tse considered useless some of Confucian practices and Confucius would have abandoned talks Lao with much more wisdom than he had expected to earn just by reading the books in the Library of the Zhou. Taoist philosophy and maintains a certain preponderance of the Confucian.
After resigning his post, Lao Tse, traveled to the west riding a water buffalo through the state of Qin. When it came to pass Shangguan, guardian Luanyin recognized Lao Tse. Luanyin guessed that Lao Tse was leaving the kingdom for ever, and begged me to stay at least another year at home, and wrote a book that should be reflected his wisdom. Lao Tse agreed, and wrote the Dao De Jing, after concluding it finally went to the West, countries barbarians, where the trail is lost forever.
is quite possible that the whole history of conversations between Confucius and Lao Tse is a tradition created by Taoists to make their own philosophy appear as original, and therefore superior, of Confucianism. It is even possible that the author of Dao De Jing, Lao Tse himself or another philosopher who took that name, had invented a character who lived two hundred years ago to force the meeting to give Kongzi and Taoist philosophy, mystery and tradition. It is also argued that the Dao De Jing was not really a philosophical treatise but a written guide for the Emperors learn how to manage their kingdoms.
In any case, was written by whomever, as it was, the Dao De Jing is one of the most important works of universal philosophy. It's about individual spirituality, relationships and political techniques. Lao developed the concept of "Tao", usually translated as "The Way", and widened its meaning to an inherent order to the universe: "The way Nature is." Wei illustrated the concept of Wuwei, or "action without action." This does not mean you have to idle and do nothing, but should avoid explicit intentions, strong desires and proactive initiatives. Lao Tse
believed that violence should be avoided as far as possible, and that a military victory can only be obtained through the use of force should be an occasion for mourning rather than triumphant conclusion. With arguments reminiscent of Plato and his Republic, Lao Tzu believed that the creation of laws and rules in a society only served to create difficulty and complexity to govern time.
Like most other ancient Chinese philosophers, Lao Tse explains his ideas using paradoxes, analogies, these old, repetition, symmetry, rhyme ... His writings are always dense and poetic and serve as a starting point for introspective meditations. Most of the theories of Chinese art ascetic are based on the ideas of Lao Tse and his principal follower Zhuang Zi. Economist Murray N.
Rothbard suggests that Lao Tzu was the first libertarian because their ideas of government and spontaneous order. And as a curiosity remember that during the Tang Dynasty (618-917) to create a connection to submit to Lao Tse as the ancestor of the imperial family, was honored as Emperor Xuanyuan.
