초록
W. B. Yeats showed an archetype of wisdom of the middle way in Sophocle’s Oedipus the King. His middle way is quite similar to that explained in Zisi’s Chungyung and Aristotle’s Nicomacheoan Ethics. Yeats explained in the cycle of Gyres that the subjective cone and the objective cone are entwined with each other and circulate through the phases of the moon, completing the middle way. Zisi explained that Chung is in harmony with Yung and they complete the middle way. Aristotle explained that when the two extremes meet in the middle, it is the state of the middle way. Oedipus and Jocasta do not live their lives with wisdom of the middle way: they ruin themselves, losing the middle way, and are destroyed. In this work, the middle way represents wisdom.
