The Margins of Language-On Zhuang Zi's Paradox
Abstract
China has always been a lot of modern Western philosophy, philosophy of researchers to attempt to clarify the issue in Chinese philosophy. One of them is the Taoist view of language problems. Taoist view of language is relative to the "Road" is concerned, it stands for "Road ineffable"; because language is a limited instrument of expression, no longer appear in "Road" itself, and therefore can not say the "Road" . This view will result in a self-contradictory paradox problem, thereby negating the value of the Taoist classic literature. It has been in the early Wittgenstein in the "philosophy of logic Essays" in "say / not say" distinction to explain the "Zhuangzi" a book of language. This description is often only "Wittgenstein who says," in a hurry to give from the "say" to "not say" a turning point between the legitimacy of. However, in view of the late Wittgenstein view of some early criticism and correction, so the concept of early language disadvantage is that people will certainly be diverted to its interpretation of the concept of "Zhuangzi" when they encounter problems. In other words, straight to take the early view of language to permit into our "Zhuangzi" interpretation, but rather more problems. Contributed to the cause of the problem is not really in the scholar to explore in depth the nature of language, but language that holds the old naive point of view to apply. However, we can Wittgenstein as examples of this through his theory of late to think, "Chuang Tzu" paradox of the problem and propose a more persuasive way of digestion. This article points to three to be demonstrated: self-referential and paradox - the paradox of language analysis that the logical structure for the self-referential, and state how the Western philosophical circles this problem; Wiggins suspended Tan and paradox - after the period of Wittgenstein's point of view that is not purely self-referential meaningless and undesirable; Hui Shi sly remarks and paradox - that paradox in the "Zhuangzi", a book has its existence
