Abstract

In this essay, Zhuang Tzú's philosophy is based on the pure ability of human life as a natural self-organization with nature, and this principle is the fundamental basis of ethics as a social communication capacity to develop the whole life of life, and that it can provide a new perspective to the world. In the Zhuang Tzú, our minds have an important meaning and status. This world is manifested in our mind and connection. Just as we exist in a chain of successive worlds, our minds are also connected with the world, and the world manifests itself in this continuity. The world is alive with me, and the celestial sphere of all things is one with me. In the field of voluntary interaction of the world, the self is created by the world at the same time passively making the world actively. This mind is expressed through language. The problem of standing and understanding the meaning of the same reality differently is not a problem of coming up, but a problem of language, a problem stemming from the difference between the problem of mind and the concern of mind, which is the place of feeling and trust in language. Zhuang Tzú invites the human being to recover the primordial pure of the empty mind. The state of the empty mind is not subject to the differences of each individual, but acknowledges the fertilization by the diversity like the rainbow. It is left to the spontaneity of each individual according to the equilibrium of movement and nature. It is not necessary to distinguish the various differences of each individual in the firstborn, as it is a meaningless rainbow to distinguish. Right and wrong, and so on and not so, depend on people. The philosophy of Zhuang Tzú reveals the level of self-organizing which generates the continuous practical meaning from the clue which may be different according to each situation beyond the limit of language. This dimension of organizing is the nature of life, and the life based on this nature is the way to find the ethics of life. And to find that path, what we must cultivate is the way of curing, and that is the wisdom of life. In this way, it is necessary to establish a basis for binding the various discussions of other studies related to bioethics, and furthermore, a new phase resulting from the combination of science and technology can be reconciled with the normative order of the world based on the fundamental communication capacities of nature and life, furthermore the new phase which arises from the combination of science and technology, will be able to refer to the normative order of the world based on nature, the fundamental communication capacity of the struggle.
