Zhuangzi's Critique of the Confucians: Blinded by the Human (SUNY series in Chinese Philosophy and Culture)

Kim-Chong Chong

4.9/5 (22774 ratings)

Description:The Daoist Zhuangzi has often been read as a mystical philosopher. But there is another tradition, beginning with the Han dynasty historian Sima Qian, which sees him as a critic of the Confucians. Kim-chong Chong analyzes the Inner Chapters of the Zhuangzi, demonstrating how Zhuangzi criticized the pre-Qin Confucians through metaphorical inversion and parody. This is indicated by the subtitle, Blinded by the Human, which is an inversion of the Confucian philosopher Xunzi s remark that Zhuangzi was blinded by heaven and did not know the human. Chong compares Zhuangzi s Daoist thought to Confucianism, as exemplified by Confucius, Mencius, and Xunzi. By analyzing and comparing the different implications of concepts such as heaven, heart-mind, and transformation, Chong shows how Zhuangzi can be said to provide the resources for a more pluralistic and liberal philosophy than the Confucians."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
