@St_Rev@ozymandias314 I think you’ve said that much of it is uninterpretable because it parodies lost doctrines. -
@Meaningness@St_Rev@ozymandias314 Doesn't mean you can understand. It just means "if it's funny, it's probably funny." Also making a point -
@balehman@St_Rev@ozymandias314 I will probably do that at some point. I want to understand it partly for its influence on Buddhist thought -
@Meaningness@St_Rev@ozymandias314 But also if you have questions! (Particularly about language) I am glad to help. -
@balehman@St_Rev@ozymandias314 Thank you very much! Could you recommend commentaries that might help make sense of it? -
@Meaningness@St_Rev@ozymandias314 Mair is pretty much the gold standard. "Wandering on the Way" is the name of his book. -
@balehman@Meaningness@ozymandias314 Not a huge fan of Mair, partly bc of his axe-grinding in his Daodejing translation. -
@St_Rev@Meaningness@ozymandias314 I feel like Mair is taking a very different approach than you + guys you like to the material? - 11 more replies

@Meaningness@St_Rev Context is not lost. We understand the context of Zhuangzi much better than the context of, say, Plato.
