Product Description Predgovor bosanskom prijevodu Seyyed Hossein Nasr, A Sufi Commentary on the Tao Te Ching: The Way and Its Virtue / Sufijski komentar Tao Te Chinga: Put i njegova Vrlina, preveli Mohammad Faghfoory i Toshihiko Izutsu, Fons Vitae, 2025.,str. 208, ISBN: 979-8896400-028 Ovo je već treća knjiga po redu u izdanju ovog renomiranog ame- ričkog izdavača (Fons Vitae) koja ima i prvog i drugog istog izdavača,tj. gdje je izvornik i prijevod koji sam osobno skrivio po treći put zaredom kod istoimenog Izdavača. I prethodna i ova knjiga, tj. njezin i engleski i bosanski prijevod izlaze uporedo u USA i to je kuriozum koji moram istaknuti u svojemu proslovu. Čini mi čast i zadovoljstvo da je nakon Reza Shah-Kazemijevog Common Ground between Islam and Buddhism, potom Autobiografije šejhu-l-Azhara ʻAbd al-Halīm Mahmūda, sada na red došao i prijevod Tao Te Ching-a, ali u sufijskom ruhu i komentaru najperestižnijeg muslimanskog živog mislitelja danas, Seyyeda Hosseina Nasra, profesorana the George Washington Sveučilištu, USA. Zapravo, već ranije sam preveo ovaj jedinstveni sveti taoistički tekst Tao Te Ching-a, a za potrebe rada sa svojim studentima u seminaru [Lao Tzu, Tao-te Ching (Daodejing / Knjiga Puta i Vrline) – prijevod sačinjen prema engleskoj verziji Gia Fu Fenga, HTML izdanju Dana Barutha, a spominjem u duhu intelektualnog poštenja i postojeći prijevod Liu Kia-Hvaj-a i pokojnog Vladimira Balvanovića, Matica Hrvatska, Sarajevo, 2000., str. 125] i tijekom jednog od svoja dva boravka u Japanu kao prvi bosanski kyoju, 2006. i 2009. godine na Kyoto Sveučilištu, nastojao sam dobiti dopuštenje i copyrights uvažene supruge Toshihiko Izutsu-sen seija, profesorice Toyoko Izutsu. Štoviše, u tomu sam i uspio, a sretna okolnost je bila u činjenici da je mojemu nastupnom predavanju tada na ASAFAS-u (Global Studies) prisustvovao prijatelj Izutsu-senseija, uvaženi profesor Yoshitsugu Sawai sa Tenry Sveučilišta, koji je napravio prijeko potrebiti dosluh sa Toyoko Izutsu. Nažalost, uvažena profesorica je uvelike inzistirala na unosu kineskih kanji-ja čemu nikako tada u Sarajevu nismo mogli udovoljiti tako da je moj prijevod Tao Te Ching-a morao sačekati neka izglednija vremena, budući da Keio University Press kao izdavač nije htio ustupiti placet za unos kanji-ja iz PDF-a ove knjige (The Izutsu Library Series on Oriental Philosophy 1). —- Preface to the Bosnian translation by Nevad Kahteran Seyyed Hossein Nasr, A Sufi Commentary on the Tao Te Ching: The Way and Its Virtue / Sufijski komentar Tao Te Chinga: Put i njegova Vrlina, translated by Mohammad Faghfoory and Toshihiko Izutsu, Fons Vitae, 2025., pp. 208, ISBN: 979-8896400-028 This is the third book in a row published by this renowned American publisher (Fons Vitae) which has both the first and second publisher, i.e. where the original and the translation that I personally wrote for the third time are from the same publisher. Both the previous and this book, i.e. its English and Bosnian translations, are published simultaneously in the USA, and this is a curiosity that I must highlight in my introduction. It gives me great honor and pleasure that after Reza Shah-Kazemi’s Common Ground between Islam and Buddhism, then the Autobiography of Sheikh-al-Azhar ʻAbd al-Halīm Mahmūd, now it is my turn to translate the Tao Te Ching, but in a Sufi guise and with commentary by the most distinguished Muslim living thinker today, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, professor at the George Washington University, USA. Original cover image. Chester Beatty Library, Ireland. Reviews Seyyed Hossein Nasr, an internationally known philosopher deeply rooted in Persian Sufism, provides here a fluent new translation of the Daodejing with running Sufi commentary, demonstrating the deep kinship between Islamic and Chinese spirituality that is obvious to those familiar with both traditions. Sachiko Murata, Author of The First Islamic Classic in Chinese Rather than a mere translation, this book opens new horizons in intercultural philosophy, introducing a classical Taoist cosmology through the lens of Islamic metaphysics. A singular contribution to both Bosnian intellectual history and the global study of comparative thought. Prof. Dr. Jana S. Rošker
