■ Title   The Purpose of "Zhuangzi": Superiority and Integration

■ Outline   It has been considered that the existing text of "Zhuangzi is the mixture of the idea of Zhuangzi and that of his followers. Over the past centuries, numerous attempts have been made by scholars to distinguish the thought of Zhuangzi himself from that of his followers, through analysing the existing text. But no studies have ever tried to research the consistency of the existing text. Through this reseach, the author concludes that the purpose of the existing text is to claim that his school is superior to the thoughts of the other schools, and that his school integrates the thoughts of all schools.   YUKI Yoshinobu   Single   Bulletin of Osaka Prefectural College of Technology   Osaka Prefectural College of Technology   (32),pp.107   1998/06
