| Abstract | The writer discusses the concept of "following nature" in two classical Chinese thinkers, Mengzi and Zhuangzi. In particular, he attempts to complicate appeals to "following nature" in Asian thought and to problematize the very imposition of the notion of "nature" on Zhuangzi and Mengzi. |
