His purposeful ambiguity and playfulness allow for endless re-interpretations in new personal and historical contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHis suggestion of a mysticism innocent of all metaphysics and religious belief, as well as his incisive critique of the inability of reason to guide us, make him especially relevant in today's post-modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis present work is the product of years of engagement with Zhuangzian philosophy and represents the evolution of yet another personal dao--a philosophy of life--inspired by this most playful of philosophers. As such, it offers itself as only a suggestive possibility; it hopes to inspire others who are so inclined to \"evolve along their own daos.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSince the text originally appeared as blog-posts, the format is designed to provide measured reflections on the philosophy of Zhuangzi that can be read in just a few minutes, while inspiring prolonged thoughtful meditation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott P.
