Biography
"Chuang Tzu (369? - 268 B.C.) was a leading thinker representing
the Taoist strain in Chinese thought. Using parable and anecdote, allegory
and paradox, he set forth the early ideas of what was to become the Taoist
school. Central in these is the belief that only by understanding Tao (the
Way of Nature) and dwelling in unity can man achieve true happiness and be
truly free, in both life and death. Witty and imaginative, enriched by
brilliant imagery, making sportive use of both mythological and historical
personages (including even Confucius), the book which bears Chuang Tzu's
name has for centuries been savored by Chinese readers."
