Which Way?

Jared just called me wondering, like Herringmeister, which copy of the Tao to order. He's going to follow Brent and I in reading the Stephan Mitchell version. But don't worry too much. It might be fun to have a couple different versions to compare and contrast. I might check what they have in the library and read that version too.

The Tao of Plato

Hey Guys. As I've been reading the Republic I've been seeing a lot of similarities between it and the Tao Te Ching. It might be fun to squeeze that in before the Iliad. They are both old texts that are Philosophical/Religious that many think are different, but seem to me to share a Metaphysic. Just a thought. I don't want to mess up our schedule.
