This comprehensive collection brings out the rich and deep
philosophical resources of the Zhuangzi. It covers textual,
linguistic, hermeneutical, ethical, social/political and
philosophical issues, with the latter including epistemological,
metaphysical, phenomenological and cross-cultural (Chinese and
Western) aspects. The volume starts out with the textual history of
the Zhuangzi, and then examines how language is used in the text.
It explores this unique characteristic of the Zhuangzi, in terms of
its metaphorical forms, its use of humour in deriding and parodying
the Confucians, and paradoxically making Confucius the spokesman
for Zhuangzi's own point of view. The volume discusses questions
such as: Why does Zhuangzi use language in this way, and how does
it work? Why does he not use straightforward propositional
language? Why is language said to be inadequate to capture the
"dao" and what is the nature of this dao? The volume puts Zhuangzi
in the philosophical context of his times, and discusses how he
relates to other philosophers such as Laozi, Xunzi, and the
Logicians.
