Abstract

This paper by the "Zhuangzi" text, context for a meaningful resolution to establish the Chuang-tzu's "Let things" ideal philosophy inherent charm; and also reconstruction of the "Road" and "objects" of the relationship, and further, where appropriate, Chuang-tzu homogeneous material philosophy of the "Road things one" of concrete thinking, abstract thinking to avoid the contemporary research in the philosophy of Chuang Tzu, which may Zhaozhi misreading. In the meantime, will try to Zhuangzi of theoretical thinking through criticism, and its already almost "situational ethics" exists to experience once again to start the logic structure of the world language for the "closed system" deep reflection. Therefore, the so-called "Road one thing," whether the theory is a metaphysical proposition, in fact, should I still continue to explore, but what can one channel and materials, but how can one, how can not one, but also should I be in the multi-faceted thinking. This paper is meant to confirm the philosophical implications of Zhuang Zi's ideal of "making all things equal" through conducting a contextual analysis of the text of Zhuang Zi. In the meantime, it's also intended to re-construct the relationship between "tao" and "things" and further consider the specific ideas of the doctrine of "tao and things combined into one" from Zhuang Zi's philosophy of making all things equal so as to avoid any misinterpretations that might be made by applying contemporary abstract thinking to Zhuang's philosophy. Also , we try to make another profound reflection on the "closed system" constructed by the logics of language, by means of criticizing Zhuang Zi's theoretical thinking as well as his approximately existential experience of "situation ethics." Consequently, we still have to inquire whether the thesis of "tao and things combined into one" is a metaphysical proposition, if tao and things can be combined into one, and how they can or cannot be combined
