Talk:Great Learning

Added some stuff. Also changed the translation. I don't think that Legge translates "tian xia zhi ping" correctly, and not translating it was world peace, leaves out a lot of the power and vision of the passage.
Also its really important to point out that the first passage uses the term dao which is the same character as Daoism. Confucianism understands dao to mean something quite different from Daoism, and one of the points of the Great Learning is to define exactly what dao means to Confucians.
- Yes, you made a good editing job here, thanks. One litlle thing: I would state somewhere that the translation is adapted from Legge's one, and I would say "Way" instead of "path", but you surely know more than I do. gbog 15:36, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)
