Abstract

Zhuangzi's philosophy is called the philosophy of life. But the cruelty of the social reality of his times forced him to summarize freedom as moral ideality and spiritual real and finally determinate transcendence of his philosophy. He divided freedom into two types: relative and absolute. It was the latter that he pursued. He put forth his own propositions concerning life corners and solutions.
