10.27: Prof. Michael Beaney Lecture Series-4
Lecture 4:
Talking with Zhuangzi
The dialogues between Zhuangzi and Hui Shi are an important part of the Zhuangzi. Hui Shi can be seen as representing the ‘analytic’ philosopher and the dialogues can thus be seen as a site for exploring analytic views in ancient Chinese philosophy. In this lecture I will examine these dialogues in clarifying the Zhuangzian critique of analytic ways of thinking while at the same elaborating and exemplifying an interpretive approach to the text that can also be called ‘analytic’ in the wider and richer sense that is required for engaging properly with the Zhuangzi.
[This lecture will develop the ideas in my article ‘Swimming Happily in Chinese Logic’, which looked solely at the famous happy fish dialogue.]
