Abstract

ABSTRACT The significant role of skill in Zhuangzi’s good life has been argued by most Zhuangzi scholars. However, there is ongoing debate concerning the psychological and behavioral mechanisms that underwrite the skillful activity and the way it contributes to a good life. Based on previous research, this paper makes a comparative study between Buddhism, Daoism, and Stoicism. The aim is to prove that practical wisdom, which involves both reflection and spontaneity, plays a helpful role in understanding Zhuangzian skillful activity by connecting skilled performance to the wise way of living. Importantly, this can be compared to the Buddhist teachings of skillful (kusala) action and skillful means (upāya) as well as the Stoic account of skill (technē) and art of life. A three-way comparison shows that skillful activity is deeply bound up with practical wisdom in the three traditions, which enables one to act appropriately and live skillfully.

庄子、佛教、斯多葛派的善巧生活

技巧在庄子美好生活中的重要作用，历来为庄子学者所争论。然而，关于支持这种有技巧的活动的心理和行为机制以及它对美好生活的贡献，仍有争论。本文在前人研究的基础上，对佛道斯多葛主义进行了比较研究。其目的是证明实践智慧，包括反思和自发性，通过将熟练的表演与明智的生活方式联系起来，对理解庄子的熟练活动起到了有益的作用。重要的是，这可以与佛教关于有技巧的（kusala）行动和有技巧的手段（upāya）的教义，以及斯多葛学派关于技巧和生活艺术的描述相比较。三方比较表明，在三种传统中，熟练的活动与实践智慧有着深刻的联系，使人能够恰当地行动，熟练地生活。
