Zhuangzi’s Butterfly (Pocket Philosophy)

Zhuangzi (late 4th century BC) was one of China’s most significant proponents of Daoism. Daoism is an ancient philosophy that strives for harmony with nature, virtuousness and self-development. Zhuangzi’s story of the dreaming philosopher and the butterfly is meant to challenge us to think about one big question: how do we really know what’s real?

By adapting famous animal parables, the Pocket Philosophy series seeks to introduce inquisitive readers of all ages – from 1 to 100! – to the biggest names in philosophy.
