ABSTRACT

This paper articulates the relationship between knowledge and qing 情 in the Zhuangzi. I argue that Zhuangzi has a twofold view of qing, which is structurally similar to his view of knowledge. I start with Zhuangzi’s critique of Confucianism and Mohism, whose doctrines of learning generate emotional turbulence. Then I read Zhuangzi’s statement that ‘humans are without qing’ as avoiding emotional turbulence as well as rigid responses to the reality. Finally, I propose that Zhuangzi’s authentic emotions are attained by ceasing to be obsessed in inauthentic emotions, but this does not mean that ordinary emotions should be eliminated. This is like great knowledge is attained by ceasing to be obsessed in petty knowledge, but it does not prevent one from seeing and grasping things from ordinary perspectives. I conclude by pointing out the relationship between the twofold view of qing to Zhuangzi’s idea of detachment and indeterminacy.

摘要

本文阐述的知识之间的关系清的情庄子。我认为庄子有双重的清观，这在结构上与他的知识观相似。我从庄子对儒家和墨家的批判开始，他们的学说产生了情感的动荡。然后我读了庄子所说的“人无情”'作为避免情绪动荡以及对现实的僵化反应。最后，我提出庄子的本真情感是通过不再执着于非本真情感而获得的，但这并不意味着应该消除普通情感。这就好比是不执着于小知识，才能获得大知识，但并不妨碍用常人的眼光去看待和把握事物。最后，我指出清的双重观点与庄子的超然和不确定性思想之间的关系。
