A Study On The Tragic Consciousness Of Life Of Zhuangzi

This thesis explored Zhuangzi's tragic consciousness of life.Zhuangzi philosophy is the philosophy of life.The most studied of Zhuangzi's philosophy is his construction of life aesthetics of aesthetic freedom.Under such circumstances,the consciousness of tragic life behind the aesthetic realm of Zhuangzi's “Peripateticism” is often weakened.Zhuangzi's tragic consciousness of life should be the starting point of all the ideas of Zhuangzi.It is precisely because he realized that life is full of tragic,so he tried his best to build a place of nowhere in the aesthetic pastime for life.However,the research on this fact has historically been only sporadic mentions of historical literati and non-systemic discourses of the present generation.There is less research on Zhuangzi's tragic consciousness than his other thoughts.Based on the entire text of "Zhuangzi",this article attempted to systematically and accurately outline the tragic consciousness generated by Zhuangzi's understanding and experience of life.Moreover,this article focuses on the "transcendence" thought in Zhuangzi,which is the most discussed by many scholars.It excavates the limits and the predicaments that must be faced to reveal the profound and thoroughness of Zhuangzi's tragic sense of life.The text of this article mainly includes the following contents:The first chapter analyzes the origin of the tragedy consciousness of Zhuangzi.There are many reasons for the tragedy consciousness of him.Those reasons can be summarized as both the "external persecution" from real predicament and "internal persecution" of a spiritual dilemma.Realistically,this is mainly reflected in the era in which Zhuangzi lived in times when the warring states and warships frequently fought against each other for material interests and living space.In addition,under the rule of tyranny in the country,people are extremely living under the illusion of " living comes under Houyi's shooting range";And social chaos inevitably leads to confusion of ideas,people living in the period is disobeying?attacking and framing each other;due to his recognition of the dilemma of scholars and the poverty and loneliness of his own lives,etc.Zhuangzi formed the real predicament of tragedy consciousness.The spiritual predicament is that when Zhuangzi puts the existence of man into the natural and cultural background to examine whether in the background of the universe or in the front of truth and knowledge,man is extremely limited,resulting in a kind of small,short,and humble sentiment.The second chapter is to explore the core of Zhuangzi's tragic consciousness: the tragic life consciousness of Zhuangzi.Zhuangzi philosophy is the philosophy of human beings who consider the true existence of human beings as possible,and in the final analysis is the philosophy of life.Whether it is thinking about the social reality or cultural background,it is all due to its enthusiasm for life.The ancient Chinese thinker,probably by no one like Zhuangzi,like the existence of life people realized that it was so thorough.In terms of the birth of life,Zhuangzi believed that life is "Geworfenheit" and cannot be selected;even the existence of "mankind" is full of chance.In life activity,although it is necessary and understandable to have "activity" in life,people are too easily enslaved by "things" and are sacrificed in "things" and alienated by "things" in their life activities.This makes the existence of life bear a too much heavy sense of heavy! In addition,the end of life is also a meaningless absurd existence.Specifically,he adopted the concept of life and death that were "Dying is as natural as living" and "Co-exist with heaven and earth,and united with everything".However,from the absolute relativistic way of looking at the world advocated by Zhuangzi's thought,he completely denied that any place of stability in this world is the place of life.His true attitude toward life is finally considered a dream!The last chapter is to explore the limitations of Zhuangzi's thought of transcending life's tragedy consciousness,and to demonstrate the thoroughness of Zhuangzi's life tragedy consciousness.The scholars who mentioned the tragedy of Zhuangzi's life all believe that in the face of this deep and heavy tragic significance,Zhuangzi has “transcended” into the realm of “a happy excursion” of extreme aesthetic freedom.However,the author believes that Zhuangzi's “transcendence” will not be completed in the end.The first reason is that Zhuangzi's "Dao " as an aesthetic transcendence is extremely unrecognizable and mysterious and mysterious,As some scholars have stated that it only has the logical necessity of a possible world,but it does not have the realities of time in the narue world.Second,“Qi”,"Xinzhai" and "Zuowang" are the ways of surpassing life.Because of his extreme "Inward View",he only pays attention to the inner nature of individual individuals,and therefore they are self-deceptive regarding "transcendence".The third is Zhuangzi's aesthetic transcendence paradigm,and it also displays illusory features because of its extreme mystique.Finally,Zhuangzi's ideal realm depicted by human society and the habitat of the soul,named "Perfect Virtue Society","Utopia" or "Aerial penthouse".The former is the ancient and the past that was eliminated by the wheel of history.The latter is a place completely out of secular and beyond the space and time.It is impossible to have real transcendence significance for the suffering of the reality and the tragedy.To sum up,Zhuangzi's transcendence of “tragedy of life” is more about the abandon and suspension of the problems of the tragedy of life,and then reconstructing the meaning world of life from another dimension.We need such illusions,but we must also understand that these illusions cannot be achieved at all.
