Presents wide-ranging and up-to-date interpretations of the
Zhuangzi, the Daoist classic and one of the most elusive works ever
written. A literary and philosophical masterpiece of its age, and
yet one of the most puzzling and elusive texts ever written, the
Zhuangzi has been continuously reinterpreted. Here the age-old
hermeneutic project of reading the Zhuangzi is brought up to the
present with new essays addressing an array of Interrelated topics
from a variety of perspectives. These include how the work stands
in relation to such issues as mystical experience, "skeptical" and
"relativist" attitudes, individual value, ethical orientation, folk
psychologies and popular beliefs, and rhetorical logic and
structure. By providing ten "uneven" perspectives on such matters,
this volume contributes to the ongoing discourse on Zhuangzi's
philosophy by placing it within our present interpretive context
and pushing that context to new limits.
