Description

This groundbreaking academic work by Routledge offers the first systematic examination of linguistic strategies employed in Daoist Zhuangzi and Chan Buddhism texts. The study investigates three core areas: deconstructive strategy, liminology of language, and indirect communication, each grounded in critical analysis of original source materials within their soteriological contexts. By exploring how language functions in these philosophical traditions, the book reveals fundamental insights often overlooked in conventional scholarship. It directly addresses recent critiques of Daoist and Chan Buddhist thought, providing rigorous textual interpretation that challenges established understandings. Ideal for students of Asian philosophy, religious studies, and comparative linguistics, this work bridges Eastern philosophical traditions with contemporary linguistic theory.

Key Features

Examines deconstructive strategy, liminology of language, and indirect communication within Daoist Zhuangzi and Chan Buddhism texts.

Bases investigations on critical examination of original texts placed strictly within soteriological contexts.

Challenges conventional understandings of Daoist and Chan Buddhist traditions through systematic linguistic analysis.

Addresses recent critiques of these two philosophical traditions with evidence-based scholarly interpretation.

Published by Routledge, an established academic press specialising in philosophy and religious studies.
