Zhuangzi: Thinking through the Inner Chapters

Zhuangzi: Thinking through the Inner Chapters is a major contribution to the philosophical understanding of Zhuangzi as seen by the foremost representative of new Chinese scholarship. Besides giving detailed readings of all seven Inner Chapters, the book also provides historical and textual context plus an in-depth examination of key philosophical concepts. Providing new and often startling insights, it flushes out the relevance of Zhuangzi’s thought especially in relation to Confucian and Mohist teachings as well as to Chinese history and culture. A must for anyone interested in Chinese and comparative philosophy.
