▼a This dissertation examines the concept of "dao" ("way") in the Zhuangzi anthology, with particular focus on passages that declare dao to be unbounded-in direct contravention of the term's normal connotations. In the broader context of Chinese thought, the Zhuangzi stands out in repeatedly stripping dao of one or both of its customary functions: being the kind of thing one might do or fail to do, and serving as a normative standard for how people ought to act and be. However much it might enable us to act and be, a "boundless way" could be neither practiced nor abandoned, and it provides for all evaluations equally. As I reconstruct them, the most philosophically engaging Zhuangist texts accord this idea a central role in their critiques of moralistic, technocratic, and otherwise advice-giving habits of life: they argue, in effect, that their rivals fail to understand the unbounded nature of ways.Most of the dissertation's contribution is exegetical: I analyze the relevant texts in detail, trying to extract every nuance and implication I can while exercising due sinological diligence. I treat the texts as deeply philosophical and as offering rich rewards to readers who approach and question them in distinctively philosophical ways |
