Zhuangzi

Dr. Chai is a specialist in ancient and medieval Chinese philosophy, with an emphasis on Taoism.

He is the author and editor of several notable books, with one of my favorites being Zhuangzi and the Becoming of Nothingness.

He is well known for advancing the study of meontology, or the philosophy of non-being.

We're honored to have Professor Chai with us today and look forward to learning from his insights and experience.

As the study of being is a term that's well known to Western philosophy, you, on the other hand, introduced Zhuangzi under the tradition of Mei ontology, or the study of non-being.

How do we study non-being, and what is Mei ontology?
