本課程以《莊子》內七篇——〈逍遙遊〉、〈齊物論〉、〈養生主〉、〈人間世〉、〈德充符〉、〈大宗師〉、〈應帝王〉——為核心文本，透過原典精讀與哲學分析，探討莊子思想所涉及之自由、自我、知識、價值、行動與政治等重要問題。課程不以文學欣賞或思想史介紹為主要目標，而是嘗試將《莊子》視為一套具有內在理論結構的哲學體系，分析其論證方式、概念關聯及其所回應的思想問題。

課程首先介紹《莊子》的文本形成、作者問題與主要詮釋傳統，作為理解內七篇思想的基礎。隨後依序閱讀內七篇，探討〈逍遙遊〉所呈現的自由境界與無待思想、〈齊物論〉對價值判準與是非之辯的反思、〈養生主〉與〈人間世〉所揭示的技藝與處世智慧，以及〈德充符〉、〈大宗師〉與〈應帝王〉所涉及的人格理想、生命轉化與政治秩序等議題。

除文本分析外，課程亦將適度引介當代莊學研究成果，討論莊子思想與相對主義、觀點主義、行動理論、政治哲學等當代議題之關聯，藉此呈現古典哲學文本在當代哲學討論中的理論價值。課程鼓勵學生從自身專業背景與研究興趣出發，思考莊子思想對現代生活、職場實踐及公共議題的啟發。

透過本課程之學習，學生將能掌握《莊子》內七篇的重要概念與核心思想，理解主要學術詮釋與研究爭議，培養獨立閱讀與分析古典哲學文本之能力，並進一步運用哲學方法探討相關理論問題，作為後續研究與學術寫作之基礎。

This course uses seven chapters of "Zhuangzi" - "Xiaoyaoyou", "Qiwulun", "Yangshengzhu", "Human World", "De Chongfu", "Great Master" and "Ying Diwang" - as the core text. Through intensive reading of the original text and philosophical analysis, it explores important issues involved in Zhuangzi's thought such as freedom, self, knowledge, value, action and politics. The course does not take literary appreciation or introduction to intellectual history as its main goal, but attempts to treat "Zhuangzi" as a philosophical system with an inherent theoretical structure, analyzing its argumentation methods, conceptual connections, and the ideological issues it responds to.

The course first introduces the text formation, authorship issues and major interpretive traditions of "Zhuangzi" as the basis for understanding the seven chapters of thought. Then read the seven chapters in order to explore the realm of freedom and the thought of no waiting presented in "Xiaoyaoyou", the reflection on value judgment and the debate of right and wrong in "Equality of Things", the skills and wisdom of life revealed in "The Master of Health" and "The Human World", and the issues of personality ideals, life transformation and political order involved in "De Chong Fu", "Grand Master" and "Ying Di Wang".

In addition to text analysis, the course will also appropriately introduce the results of contemporary Zhuang studies and discuss the connection between Zhuangzi's thoughts and contemporary issues such as relativism, perspectivism, action theory, and political philosophy, thereby presenting the theoretical value of classical philosophical texts in contemporary philosophical discussions. The course encourages students to consider the inspiration of Zhuangzi's thoughts on modern life, workplace practice and public issues based on their own professional background and research interests.

Through the study of this course, students will be able to master the important concepts and core ideas of the seven chapters of "Zhuangzi", understand the main academic interpretations and research controversies, develop the ability to independently read and analyze classical philosophical texts, and further use philosophical methods to explore relevant theoretical issues, which will serve as the basis for subsequent research and academic writing.
