Skill and Mastery: Philosophical Stories from the Zhuangzi presents
an illuminating analysis of skill stories from the Zhuangzi, a 4th
century BCE Daoist text. In this intriguing text that subverts
conventional norms and pursuits, ordinary activities such as
swimming, cicada-catching and wheelmaking are executed with such
remarkable efficacy and spontaneity that they seem like magical
feats. An international team of scholars explores these stories in
their philosophical, historical and political contexts. Their
analyses' highlight the stories'underlying conceptions of agency,
character and cultivation; and relevance to contemporary debates on
human action and experience. The result is a valuable collection,
opening up new lines of inquiry in comparative East-West
philosophical debates on skill, cultivation and mastery, as well as
cross-disciplinary debates in psychology, cognitive science and
philosophy.
