Non-PRO English to Chinese Other Psychology history of psychology

Perhaps the greatest of the pre-Confucian philosophers was Lao-tze(604-531 B.C.), who wrote the Book of the Ways and of Virtue, Tao-Te-Ching, the most important work of Taoist philosophy. This system, literally meaning “the way” in the sense of a path to wise living, rejects intellectual enterprise in favor of a simple life that is close to nature.
上面这段话中This system, literally meaning ＂the way” in the sense of a path to wise living意思是什么？我翻译成＂这一体系，表面上意思是感觉上通向明智生活之路的‘道’＂不知可否正确？
请大家帮忙，非常感谢。
