Chuang Tzu Series

Unlike the previous series on the Tao Te Ching and Wen Tzu — which were solely written by The Rambling Taoist (RT) — both Scott Bradley (SB) & I will be contributing to this one.   We’re taking a rather eclectic approach which means that we won’t be covering the chapters in chronological order (though I will list them as such).  In addition, because the Chuang Tzu is such a long book, this series will take a long time to complete and there will be numerous posts per chapter.

Scott also deals with many of the themes contained in the Chuang Tzu in a more general way (i.e., not tied to an explanation of a specific chapter).  You can find an index of these posts here.
