Abstract:
Perhaps the primary interpretive problem in interpreting the Daoist text Zhuangzi is that it alternates between skeptical questioning of purported knowledge claims and apparent advocacy of a certain way of life. I offer an interpretation of the kind of skepticism embodied by the Zhuangzi that makes perfect sense of the accompanying advocacy of a dao or way.
