Title: Wandering on the way : early Taoist tales and parables of Chuang Tzu
Author: Zhuangzi​

Description:
TRANSLATED AND EDITED WITH AN
INTRODUCTION BY JONATHAN BARNES

In paving the way for Plato and Aristotle, the pre-Socratics were the true creators of Western philosophy.
Zeno's extraordinary and disturbing paradoxes, the atomic theories of Democritus that so strikingly anticipate contemporary physics, the enigmatic and
haunting epigrams of Heraclituthese are just some of the riches to be found in this collection of the writings of the early Greek philosophers. Jonathan Barnes's
masterly Introduction shows how the most skilled detective work is often needed to reconstruct the ideas of these thinkers from the surviving fragments of their
work. But the effort is always worth while. In forging the first truly scientific vocabulary and offering rational arguments for their views, the pre-Socratics were doing something new and profoundly important; they also posed the questions that have remained at the centre of philosophy to this day.
