Preslávená úvaha majstra Suna o vojenskom umení Preslávená úvaha majstra Suna o vojenskom umení sa teší neutíchajúcemu záujmu čitateľov i po viac ako dva a pol tisíc rokoch, ktoré uplynuli od jeho napísania. V čom spočíva jeho obľúbenosť? Paradoxne vôbec nie v jeho vojenských aspektoch,ale v inšpiratívnej sile pre taktické zaobchádzanie s ľuďmi. Jeho myšlienky ocení každý človek, pretože taktika je nevyhnutná v manželstve, partnerstve a vlastne vo všetkých vzťahoch, v ktorých nechceme stále iba ustupovať alebo sa podriaďovať zámerom druhých. Rovnako tak múdrosť majstra Suna osloví manažérov, pre ktorých je vedenie a motivovanie ľudí i boj s konkurenciou podstatnou náplňou práce. Majster Sun učí človeka dôkladne zhodnotiť situáciu a nádeje na presadenie vlastných zámerov. Základom vojenského umenia totiž nie je demonštrácia sily, ale predvídavosť, schopnosť odhadnúť protivníka a presadiť sa voči nemu bez zbytočného prelievania krvi a strát. Zámerom tohto vydania bolo poskytnúť čitateľovi čo najprístupnejší text, v ktorom by sa nemusel ponárať do tajov a odlišností čínskeho vyjadrovania sa. Preto je základom nášho vydania anglický preklad Lionela Gilesa z roku 1910, ktorý vďaka rozsiahlym komentárom umožnil jednotlivé myšlienky vyjadriť v maximálne zrozumiteľnej miere.

Mistr Sun je nejstarší dochovaný a dodnes pro svou nestárnoucí aktuálnost populární vojenský klasik. Čínští historiografové ztotožňují autora textu s Konfuciovým současníkem jménem Sun Wu, který se angažoval jako vojenský specialista u wuského krále Che-lu (514 - 496 př. n. l.). Dochovaný text vznikl v době čínských Válčících států (403 - 221 př. n. l.). Byla to také doba filosofů. Mistr Sun je dítětem té doby v obou jejích aspektech. Geniální stratég a pronikavý filosof. Jeho řeč připomíná Starého Mistra, Lao-c´. Jeho strategie, založená na paradoxních možnostech slabosti proti síle, měkkosti proti tvrdosti, prázdnoty proti plnosti, pohybu proti stálosti, změny proti pravidelnosti, se stala myšlenkovým východiskem všech východních bojových umění. Jeho text nepřestal být kanonickou knihou východního vojenství a dnes se stal už významnou součástí světové strategické literatury. Filosofická hloubka činí z tohoto textu navíc pramen poučení z jistého druhu myšlení, které daleko přesahuje zkušenost bojovou, vojenskou a válečnou. Třináct Sunových traktátů o válečném umění je i literární skvost. Jako takový kdysi inspiroval Jiřího Koláře k básnické replice Mistr Sun O básnickém umění. Také nový český překlad Oldřicha Krále akcentuje básnické kvality původního textu. Současné vydání v nakladatelství Maxima představuje výrazně přepracovaný překlad z roku 1995.

'Wenn du die anderen und dich selbst kennst, wirst du auch in hundert Schlachten nicht in Gefahr schweben; wenn du die anderen nicht kennst und dich selbst nicht kennst, dann wirst du in jeder einzelnen Schlacht in Gefahr sein.' Sun Tsu
