Zhuangzi Kapitel2
Über die Gleichheit der Dinge


Graham 9 The Ultimate Uncertainty
Like all great anti-rationalists, Zhuangzi has his reasons for not listening to reason. He developed them in the pieces assembled in "The sorting which evens tings out", a scattered series of notes which conveys more than anything else in ancient Chinese the sensation of a man thinking aloud.
... all reasoning depends on making distinctions. We should abandon reason for the immediate experience of an undifferentiated world, transforming "All is one" from a moral into a mystical affirmation.
11
Zhuangzi derides all claims that reason can give a certainty. The only assurance we can have or should want is that of organic process and un-analysed knacks and skills, of whatever he confidently do without knowing how we do it. We have to "know how to know by depending on that which the wits do not know", otherwise we are projected in to "the ultimate uncertainty". (Zhuangzi 25.8: The myriad things have somewhere from which they grow but no one sees the root, somewhere from which they come forth but no one sees the gate. Men all honour what wit knows, but none knows how to know by depending on what his wits do not know; may that not be called the supreme uncertainty? Enough, enough! There is nowhere you can escape from it; it is what one might call "the alternative which is so together with the alternative which is so"?
