A Taoist Classic: Chuang-Tzu
The Chuang-tzu, one of China’s most important Taoist works, forms a connecting link between the preceding Book of Lao Tzu and the following Book of Huai Nan Tzu. It brims with ideas by means of images, shedding light on philosophy through the aid of fables. As the seven chapters are consistent in both style and thought, they were obviously written by Chuang Tzu himself, while some of the other chapters of the original Chuang-tzu were written by scholars of later periods or other schools. Therefore, Chuang Tzu’s philosophical thought is well presented in those seven chapters, while the ideas of the other chapters were incorporated in the translator’s notes. Therefore, the present volume represents ideas discussed in the thirty-three chapters of the original Chuang-tzu. Professor Fung has, in his translator’s notes, made a comparative study between Western philosophical thought and that of Chuang Tzu with a view to help readers grasp the core of Chuang Tzu’s writings.
