Description
This edition presents the timeless wisdom of Chuang Tzu, one of the most playful and profound works of world philosophy, in clear, inviting modern English. Through unforgettable stories—the famous butterfly dream, the useless but mighty tree, the butcher who cuts without effort—Chuang Tzu invites us to see beyond fixed categories and embrace life with spontaneity and ease. His teachings on wu wei (effortless action), the relativity of perspectives, and the joy of simply being have inspired seekers for over two millennia, from Zen masters to modern environmental thinkers. Faithful to the original's spirit, this volume makes the ancient classic accessible to today's reader while preserving its humor, paradox, and deep calm. Part of The Modern Wisdom Library.
