Abstract

Reviews 57 blatantly snubbed higher-ups he did not like, either by ignoring their messengers or by simply walking out on them—hardly the conduct of someone seeking to shore up institutional hierarchies. Mencius, for his part, famously criticized rulers to their faces and implored them to empathize with their people. Comparisons between the Zhuangzi and other early texts deserve further exploration, but parallels as well as differences merit our attention. Deborah Sommer Deborah Sommer is an associate professor at Gettysburg College. She explores representations of the body of Confucius, and she is currently creating a topically- arranged translation of the Analects. NOTE 1. See “Kongzi in the Zhuangzi,” in Experimental Essays on Zhuangzi, 2nd ed., ed. Victor H. Mair (Three Pines Press, 2010), pp. 177–194. James Flath.
