ShibumiMC Posted September 16, 2012 The Tao Te Ching and Ping-fa (the incorrectly labelled "Art of War") were creations of the learned academies of Qin. Their purpose was to, with a subtle but important re-definition of Wu-wei, engineer the end of the Warring States, and found the Empire of China. The whole story can be found in my just published "The School of Sun Tzu" - available here: http://tinyurl.com/897kb6p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLB Posted September 16, 2012 I will read your book. I have long thought the emphasis upon Sun Tzu as providing a manual overlooked the purpose of the writing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aetherous Posted September 17, 2012 This is one of the most interesting things I've ever read on the forum, ShibumiMC...perhaps you could post about your book and ideas in the General Discussion area, since most members don't frequent the Lobby. And welcome! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
