The Ethical Foundations of Early Daoism: Zhuangzi's Unique Moral
Vision presents a comprehensive study of the normative dimensions
of early Daoism in general and the classic text Zhuangzi in
particular. Lee argues that our inclination to view Daoism as an
amoral tradition stems from Orientalist assumptions about Daoism as
well as our received assumptions about the nature of morality. By
enlarging the scope of morality, Lee suggests that early Daoist
texts like the Zhuangzi can be read as works of moral philosophy
that speak to specifically moral concerns in ethics, government,
and society. Lee casts the moral imperative of the Zhuangzi as an
ethics of attunement to the Way and develops this thesis in the
context of friendship, government, death, and human flourishing.
