About this product
Product Information
The philosophical tradition in the West has always subjected life to conceptual divisions and questions about meaning. In "Vital Nourishment," Franccedil; ois Jullien contends that although this process has given rise to a rich history of inquiry, it proceeds too fast. In their anxiety about meaning, Western thinkers since Plato have forgotten simply to experience life. In this installment of his continuing project of plumbing the philosophical divide between Eastern and Western thought, Jullien slows down, and, using the third and fourth century B.C.E. Chinese thinker Zhuanghi as a foil, begins to think about life from a point outside of Western inquiry. The question of how to " feed life, " or nourish it, is the point of departure for the Chinese tradition that Jullien locates in Zhuanghi. Life passes through each of us, and we have a duty to become amenable to its ebbs and flows. We must cultivate a sense of being adequate to it so that we can house it. Exploring notions of breath, energy, and immanence, Jullien reopens a vibrant space of intellectual exchange between East and West. In doing so, he refuses to commit to a rigid framework of meaning, and his text unfolds as an elegant process that mirrors the very type of thought he explores. Pointing out that it seems intellectually and politically imperative today to reinvigorate Western thought with ideas from the East, Jullien seeks to create a space of mutual inquiry that maintains the integrity of both Eastern and Western thinking. Vital Nourishment is both a rich intellectual historical journey and a text very much attuned to the philosophical politics of the present.

Reviews
" This work in comparative philosophy seeks to uncover and question some deeply entrenched assumptions of Western thought by contrasting them with alternative assumptions that are especially well represented in the Daoist text Zhuangzi . Jullien provides a provocative and often illuminating presentation of the ways in which the Zhuangzi challenges long-standing and influential assumptions about the sharp separation between mind and body, about happiness as the ultimate end of life, and indeed about there being an ultimate end that confers meaning on life. However, in trying to make the Zhuangzi representative of Chinese thought in general and then drawing a sharp contrast between Chinese and Western thought, Jullien obscures the internal complexity of the representative text and both traditions of thought. " ---David B. Wong, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, "A significant and indispensable addition to Chinese body politics." ---Hwa Yol Jung, Dao: A Journal of Comparative Philosophy, "The work of François Jullien is indispensable for anyone who wants to understand Chinese thought." ---Eske Mollgaarrd, Journal of Asian Studies
