The relationships, both historical and philosophical, among the "Zhuangzi"'s Inner, Outer, and Miscellaneous chapters are the subject of ancient and enduring controversy. Liu marshals linguistic, intertextual, intratextual, and historical evidence to establish an objectively demonstrable chronology and determine the philosophical affiliations among the various chapters. This major advance in "Zhuangzi" scholarship furnishes indispensable data for all students of the great Daoist text. In a lengthy afterword, Liu compares his conclusions with those of A. C. Graham and addresses the relationship between the "Zhuangzi" and the "Laozi."Liu Xiaogan is Professor of Philosophy at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
