As the first systematic attempt to probe the linguistic strategies
of Daoist Zhuangzi and Chan Buddhism, this book investigates three
areas: deconstructive strategy, liminology of language, and
indirect communication. It bases these investigations on the
critical examination of original texts, placing them strictly
within soteriological contexts. Whilst focusing on language use,
the study also reveals some important truths about these two
traditions and challenges many conventional understandings of them.
Responding to recent critiques of Daoist and Chan Buddhist thought,
it brings these two traditions into a constructive dialogue with
contemporary philosophical reflection. It discovers Zhuangzian and
Chan perspectives and sheds light on issues such as the
relationship between philosophy and non-philosophy, de-reification
of words, relativising the limit of language, structure of indirect
communication, and use of paradox, tautology and poetic language.
