Zhuangzi’s Jie Xin 解心 (Untangling the Heartmind) and the Wisdom of Biomimicry: An Innovative Approach to Humanity, Nature, and Technology for the 21st Century
Zhuangzi employs the term jie 解 (untangling, dissecting, releasing, unravelling) in both jie xin 解心 (untangling the heartmind) and jie niu 解牛 (dissecting the ox). This concept embodies Zhuangzi’s philosophy of achieving clarity and balance by aligning with the natural order rather than resisting it. This philosophical spirit resonates with the wisdom of biomimicry, which draws on nature’s time-tested systems as models for addressing human challe…

The essay argues that Weber’s account of “magical and irrational” features in Daoism is due to a deep-s…

Yinyang: The Way of Heaven and Earth in Chinese Thought and Culture
The concept of yinyang lies at the heart of Chinese thought and culture.
