About this book
Herbert A. Giles made this English translation in 1889 of the writings of a Chinese thinker who lived in the fourth and third centuries before Christ. Chuang Tzu builds on the sayings of Lao Tzu and works mostly through allegory: freedom from worldly ambition, the sameness of opposites, and a life that follows the Tao. The 33 chapters range from "Transcendental Bliss" to "The Empire", and the volume opens with an introduction and a note on his philosophy.
