Wandering at Ease in the Zhuangzi (review)
Philosophy East and West January 1, 2001 James E. Miller
This edited volume on the Zhuangzi collects creative essays that emphasize the text's humor, character, and personality, resisting dry intellectualism. The essays wander across traditional academic boundaries, covering topics such as self and personhood, the authentic person, humor's transformative effects, and action in the story of Cook Ding. Some essays explore literary connections to Tang poetry and figures like Henry Miller and Milan Kundera. The volume is dedicated to Yang Yu-wei, who taught many contributors at Taiwan Normal University.
