This seminal work in comparative philosophy and translation studies presents a systematic analysis of English translations of the Zhuangzi over the past three decades. The author’s discussion of “meaning” in translation philosophy is highly innovative. Adopting Orientalism, comparative philosophy, cultural anthropology, the book conducts a multi-angle analysis of “meaning” in translation, seeking to move beyond traditional binary debates such as “fidelity” versus “rebellion” and “author-centered” versus “reader-centered” approaches. Inspired by Zhuangzi’s Qiwulun and Tiantai Buddhist thought, it proposes a new complementary philosophy of translation regarding meaning. The work holds significant academic value as well as cultural interpretive and communicative importance.
