David Chai's latest work delves into nothingness and becomes a groundbreaking rethinking of Zhuangzi's worldview.In Zhuangzi and the Becoming of Nothingness,Chai carefully explicates the metaphysics and cosmology underlying the Zhuangzi's philosophy.Chai breathes new life into Zhuangzi studies by showing modem scholars a way out of the narrow-minded,well-frog-like proposals that the Zhuangzi advocates nihilism or relativism,especially ethical relativism or epistemological skepticism.The text is comprised of acknowledgments,an introduction,six chapters,a brief conclusion,copious notes,a bibliography,and a thorough index.It focuses on the cosmology,cosmogony,and meontological foundation or abyss that makes the world and universe possible.This work is the first of a trilogy;subsequent works will unravel the ethics and epistemology of the Zhuangzi.
