Abstract

This article aims to The "I Lose Myself," as the center, to explore the "Zhuangzi" self-concept. This paper analyzes the proposition I Lose Myself, in order to clarify the I, I and the ideal personality / relationship between people, said: "Zhuangzi" I and my so-called, refers to two points is not subject to the other or self, but two kind of level of self; so this two-self, I can not be called true and false me. Its subject is also divided into two so that's my funeral I did not lose me with the I; as opposed to "Zhuangzi" person view, were the crowd and the ideal personality.
