Previous translations of

The Art of War

have presented Sun Tzu's classic from the point of view of military strategy, Chinese history, or Taoist philosophy. This translation-accompanied by the translators' in-depth essays and illuminating line-by-line commentary-offers a fresh perspective on this ancient Chinese text. Here, Sun Tzu's strategic principles of warfare (based as they were on the fundamental insights of the Chinese spiritual and philosophical tradition) are seen as universally relevant-the foundation for personal transformation and the creation of an enlightened society.

In this translation of

The Art of War , Sun Tzu's teachings are revealed in an entirely new light.

. War is any situation that demands hard choices about creation and destruction, life or death.

. The state is the system in which we live-our household, our culture or society, or our own mind.

. Defense ensures the integrity of our boundaries and allows life to flourish within them.

. Force is the energy of concentrated action.

. Victory lies in bringing others around to embracing a larger view-one that includes their own-without ever going to battle.

The commentary and essays included will help the reader appreciate that this work has endured, not simply as a manual for the conduct of warfare but because of the depth of the principles on which it is based and their applicability to everyday life. -- Library Journal An exhilarating experience. The principles of translation are among the best I have ever encountered. They have a collective genius. . . . --Victor H. Mair, Professor, Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, University of Pennsylvania The Denma Group show us how to apply Sun Tzu's wisdom in everyday situations. --James A.
