郭象 (Guō Xiàng)

3rd-4th Century CE

View full profile →

Guo Xiang (3rd-4th Century CE) was a pivotal figure in Chinese Neo-Daoism (Xuanxue), best known for his influential commentary on the Zhuangzi. He reinterpreted classical Daoist thought, rejecting the prevailing view of "Non-being" (Wu) as a singular origin and instead positing the "Solitary Transformation of Things" (Duhua) where all phenomena spontaneously arise and exist by their own nature (Ziran). His work became the standard interpretation of the Zhuangzi.
