Note: Heidegger once spent time attempting to translate the Tao Te Ching (or Dao De Jing, whose authorship is attributed to Laozi) into German, working with his Chinese student Paul Shih-yi Hsaio. Professor Hsaio detailed this experience in his essay entitled "Heidegger and Our Translation of the Tao te Ching," which was collected in Heidegger and Asian Thought (pp. 93-104)
