『장자』 「제물론」의 ‘天籟’ 해석 고찰

Abstract

The pursuit of the meaning of 「Chi Wu Lun」 was sometimes used as a subsidiary material of each period's dominant ideology. Surely, such a direction of research has been improper. The research should be performed in a way to find an intrinsic attribute of human nature. “The sound of the flute in the sky(tian lai:天籟)” of 「Chi Wu Lun」, can be a symbol of human's general psychological reality. As a contemporary term, we may name it `existence'. And as a fundamental theme of human existence, the research of 「Chi Wu Lun」, can be a profound challenge to modern philosophy. To put it concretely, “The sound of the flute in the sky(天籟)” of 「Chi Wu Lun」, are various kind of human features, such as big and small intelligences, big and small statements, slumber, awakening, composition, conflict's aspects, big and small fear, attack, withhold, weakening, addiction, confinement, and are various kind of human passions such as delight, anger, sorrow, pleasure, anxiety, grief, caprice, awe-stricken, infatuation, looseness, inducement, haughtiness. By the pursuit of the reality of human psychology, Chuang-tzu explored many problems of the human beings. And as a result, he composed a concept that regards the human nature as fundamentally deficient.
