According to the biography, Chuang Tzu lived between 369 BC. e. and 286 BC e. . He was born in the city of Meng (蒙城 Méng Chéng) of the Song Kingdom, now the city of Shangqiu商 邱Henan Province. He received the name Zhou (周 Zhōu), he was also called Meng-shi 蒙 吏, (official Meng), Meng Zhuang (蒙 莊 Méng Zhuāng) or Meng Sr. (蒙 叟 Méng sǒu).
Philosophy
Basically, Chuang Tzu's philosophy is skeptical and considers life limited and knowledge unlimited. Chuang Tzu, however, believed that pursuing the unlimited, having only the limited, is stupid. Our language and knowledge already presupposes a Tao with which each of us is connected by past paths. Thus, we must understand that even our most carefully thought-out conclusions might seem erroneous if we had a different past experience. Chuang Tzu believed that our natural tendencies mix with acquired ones. Conclusions and the choice of the next step is due to this unique set of natural and acquired properties.
