Encephalon Posted November 27, 2020 I brought up the subject of group study of The Art of War last spring and got a lukewarm reception. Perhaps more of us have acquired an interest in investigating the role of strategy in our personal and professional lives. Below are my copies. I plunged in first with the Cleary translation and moved straight to The Art of War - Spirituality for Conflict. At the very least, I can derive from these two that egocentrism on any level, be it personal or on the field of battle, is THE recipe for failure. I welcome everyone with a sincere interest to join in. Regardless of expertise, I hope we can bring some small measure of scholarship to the endeavor, to be open to the insights of various interpretations without preconception.
