no2DO - eine Annäherung aus Westen
Contemporary Interpretation

This time I'm just: Observer
Find your own rhythm:
Let impressions and events
softly subside
without re-action.
What has actually happened?
And what does it mean -
Detached from me,
From my personality?
This time I'm just:
Observer.
[I am safe. I am warm.]

Information regarding the interpretation modelClassical Interpretation
The significance of the characters »approach« (19) and »contemplation« is that in part they give and in part they take.
The image
The earth above the lake: the image of approach. Thus the superior man is inexhaustible in his purpose to teach and without limit in suffering and protecting the people.
The judgement
Approach has sublime success. Perseverance furthers. In the eighth month comes misfortune.

Follow the Path of the Dao: A Western Approximation
The interpretations shown above gradually moved away from Eastern concepts. Let us proceed even a little further. In this section I develop a model of interpretation from a Western perspective, more precisely: from the perspective of philosophical anthropology.
