SUMMARY:The Emergence of the Aesthetic Subject in Zhuangzi
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored with the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\n\nWh
 at is East Asian aesthetics? In the study of aesthetics\, there has been c
 onsiderable doubt about the relevance of academic discussions to the East 
 Asian context. However\, this study assumes that the aesthetic thinking in
  East and West is fundamentally interconnected and based on common human e
 motions. I will endeavor to find a prototype of the aesthetic subject—a 
 figure that represents this emotionally driven perspective in the Zhuangz
 i. To facilitate this\, I divide the subjects depicted in the Zhuangzi i
 nto three different types: wo (我)\, ou (耦)\, and wu (吾). By ex
 amining the unique characteristics of these subjects through their interac
 tions with the things around them\, we can better understand the aesthetic
  subject in the Zhuangzi as one that transcends cognitive limitations by
  redefining the relationships between subject and things. This approach no
 t only enriches our understanding of East Asian aesthetics\, but also emph
 asizes the universal nature of human emotional experience.
