Topic: THE INNER CHAPTERS OF CHUANG-TZU
Chuang-tzu, one of the greatest figures of early Taoism, used parables and paradox to illustrate that real happiness and freedom are found only in understanding the Tao or the Way of nature and dwelling in it's unity. This class will focus on Chuang-tzu's writings, called "The Inner Chapters". The text to be purchased is "The Way of Chuang-tzu" by Thomas Merton. This text will be supplemented with excerpts from another translation as the class proceeds, but only one book needs to be purchased.
