Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Hong Kong), 2012.

Zhuangzi, first introduced into the English-speaking world via F. H. Balfour's 1881 translation, has, due to (1) the East-West cultural differences, (2) misinterpretation, and (3) its innate difficulties in reading, since languished at the stage of repetitive translation. Literary-philosophical research building thereon is hence restricted. Concerning this, the Chinese scholars' attention has stayed scant, with their use of the research outcomes so attained negligible. This cannot be ideal for a world classic already situated against the global cultural context.

520 $a Zhuangzi, first introduced into the English-speaking world via F. H. Balfour's 1881 translation, has, due to (1) the East-West cultural differences, (2) misinterpretation, and (3) its innate difficulties in reading, since languished at the stage of repetitive translation. Literary-philosophical research building thereon is hence restricted. Concerning this, the Chinese scholars' attention has stayed scant, with their use of the research outcomes so attained negligible. This cannot be ideal for a world classic already situated against the global cultural context.
520 $a From a philological angle, this dissertation tracks the English-speaking academia's philological research on Zhuangzi so far, scrutinises its current condition, and formulates a peculiarly philological solution to the difficulties in reading and translating Zhuangzi. These may contribute to the English-speaking academia's research on Zhuangzi, the East-West exchange thereon, and the application of the same philological solution to the research and rereading of other Chinese ancient texts in general.
520 $a This dissertation is structured as follows: Chapter 1 Introduction explains the objectives, methodology and the presumed significance of this research, defines keywords, and outlines the current condition of the English-speaking world's philological research on Zhuangzi .
520 $a Chapter 2 Biographical Research on Zhuangzi in the Anglophone Academia summarises the Anglophone academia's effort on ascertaining Zhuangzi's biography, including his reputed style name and alias, domiciles, civil service and the various possible ages which his life could have spanned. From these this dissertation delineates the general approach that the English-speaking Zhuangzi research has taken towards the book's purported author.
520 $a Chapter 3 The Collation, Examination and Translation of Zhuangzi in the Anglophone Academia traces the philological effort on the collation and textual correction of Zhuangzi from Balfour, Herbert A. Giles through Ziporyn Brook, and discusses their respective strengths and limitations. This chapter also sets out the overall condition and limitations of both the English translations of Zhuangzi and the research based on such translations. It examines the drawbacks incurred by the Anglophone academia's indifference to the editions of the source texts upon which their research is built, and hence readies the later part of this dissertation for discussing the implications of Chinese philology to understanding, translating and researching Zhuangzi in a culturally disparate context overseas.
520 $a Chapter 4 The Anglophone Academia's Philological Attainments on Zhuangzi Research: Review and Evaluation elaborates the research outcomes that the philological studies of Zhuangzi have accumulated in the West. Coverage includes A.C. Graham, Livia Knaul, Harold Roth, Liu Xiao-gan, Brian Hoffert and David McCraw, with a goal to outline the experience and features of the development of philological studies in the Anglophone academia.
520 $a Chapter 5 The Significance of Philological Studies to Zhuangzi Research in the Anglophone Academia specifies the major difficulties in reading and translating Zhuangzi, and how, from the philological methods of Edition Studies, Scholia on Words and Parallel Passages, a peculiar philological solution thereto may be formulated.
520 $a From the above Chapter 6 Conclusion draws a tentative conclusion, and explores the implications of this research and the ways forward for Zhuangzi studies, both in the Anglophone academia and in a broader context.
