Zhuangzi (369 BC)
View through CrossRef
This chapter examines Zhuangzi, an influential Daoist text written by Zhuang Zhou and named after the Daoist thinker Zhuang Zi (or Chuang-Tzu, c.369–286 BC). It discusses Zhuangzi’s emphasis on the philosopher’s wisdom regarding political and social management, its concept of personal realization, and its concern with social and political order. It also considers Daoism’s notion of wuwei in relation to wuwo (no self), wudai (no reliance), wugong (no merit), and wuming (no name). Furthermore, it looks at the wholeness, equality, relatedness, and relativity of wanwu, along with the organizational implications of Zhuangzi, and the connection between Daoist thinking and organizational management.
