Chuang Tzu (c. 370–300 BC)| Chinese philosopher, the second most important writer in the Taoist tradition, following Lao Zi. He was renowned for his wit, storytelling, and discourses on the inadequacy of words to describe anything of meaning. Stories about him were collected into a book called the Chuang Tzu, which became one of the most influential books in the rise of philosophical Taoism. |

| [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] 2 ZHUANGZI The great ancient Chinese Taoist thinker Zhuangzi used lively tales and romantic language to offer an all-encompassing critique of culture's value systems--he was the Nietzsche of his day. Now some thinkers, including Zhuangzi and the legendary Laozi, focused on a naturalistic interpretation of that concept as a way out of the chaos of their age. The objectivist, relativist and skeptical positions of truth represented by Greek philosophers Plato, Protagoras and Pyrrho can find their Chinese counterparts in the understandings of zhengming, or the rectification of names, by Confucian philosopher Xunzi, Taoist philosopher Zhuangzi and poet Tao Yuanming. |
