Fiction and Philosophy in the Zhuangzi
Mythical, poetic and often very funny, the Zhuangzi is one of China's greatest literary and philosophical masterpieces. This English translation takes you by the hand and leads you confidently through the comic scenes and virtuoso writing style, introducing all the little stories Zhuangzi invented and unpicking its philosophy through close commentaries and helpful asides.From the well-known story of butcher Ding to those featuring marginal characters-outcasts, monsters, vile and physically repulsive people- Romain Graziani opens up the text as never before. Yet the complexities of this classical text can make it a challenging read.
Looking at the theme of illness and death, Graziani He shows how Zhuangzi uses the stories as an answer to Mencius's conception of sacrifice and self-cultivation and guides you through the themes of the animal world, sacrifice and meditation.
