Ep. 342: Zhuangzi on Knowledge and Virtue (Part One)
More on the Zhuangzi, books 1-6 and 17-19 with guest Theo Brooks.
We discuss epistemology (Can we know the mind of someone else? How can virtue make truth more accessible?), metaphysics (Is the world constantly changing such that we can't actually refer to anything? Does each thing somehow contain its opposite in virtue of being defined by its contrast with all that it is not?), and ethics (What constitutes the Utmost Person, i.e. the sage?).
