Can Stoicism answer our dilemma?

Compare Senecaโ€™s On the Shortness of Life with the Zhuangzi in this reflection on Stoicism vs. Daoism. Learn how Cincinnatusโ€™s Roman Plow creates a utilitarian trap. Oh, and how The Expendables does, too.

My dad just published a book!

โ€œWhat I have written here is an English-language commentary on the classic Chinese Daoist text, the Zhuangzi. The book is named after the late fourth-century BCE philosopher Zhuang Zhou. I have posted it on an open access platform called Knowledge Commons. The link is to a free downloadโ€

It's #HoPWaG time again! Today we look at the theme of "wandering" in the Zhuangzi, comparing this to Thomas Nagel's idea of "philosophical absurdity." www.historyofphilosophy.net/zhuangzi-wan... #philsky #philosophy #podcasts #daoism #zhuangzi

"Great knowledge is universal. Small knowledge is limited. Great words are inspiring. Small words are chatter."

Finished reading this on the train today, and it's a fun and interesting book. I have a soft spot for Zhuangzi's happy fish, and so this was up my street. It's also open access, putting the "free" into "free and easy wandering" (้€้™้Š)

The Joy of Chinese Philosophy

This book introduces some central ideas and themes in ancient Chinese philosophy through a detailed analysis of one famous passage โ€“ the happy fish dialogue โ€“ in the Zhuangzi , one of the two founding texts of Daoism. The Zhuangzi is the most exhilarating and intellectually challenging of all the texts of ancient Chinese literature, and appreciating its spirit is as important as understanding its ideas. Methodologically, this book shows how we can approach Chinese philosophy analytically, an approach that is needed if Chinese philosophy is to be recognized in Western (analytic) philosophy today. At the same time, it seeks to broaden our conceptions and practices of analysis and our methods and styles of philosophizing in learning from Chinese philosophy. Throughout the book the emphasis is on engaging the reader in thinking through the issues for themselves.

Coming up on Sunday on #HoPWaG, we have a look at the various mentions of Confucius/Kongzi in the Zhuangzi. Did Daoists think this great sage was all that great? #podcast #philosophy #daoism #zhuangzi
