莊子與當代批判──工作、技術、壓力、遊戲

Zhuangzi and the Critics of Contemporary Era — Work, Technics, Pressure and Play

本文由探討當代西方社會批判的主要論題「工作、技術、壓力」等等切入，試圖開顯莊子（C.369-286 BCE）逍遙遊的時代批判精神與當代相關性。文章所探討的四大主題之間具有潛藏的相關脈絡。工作與技術在晚期榮格爾（Ernst Jünger, 1895-1998）的看法中是結為一體的，而這種工作與技術的結合，使人成為海德格（Martin Heidegger, 1889-1976）所說的「儲置物」（Bestand），可以說是現代人壓力的最深來源。要克服這種「工作技術壓力」的結構，芬克（Eugen Fink, 1905-1975）提出遊戲的概念，這恰好與莊子的逍遙遊相呼應。

This article explores the mainly western social criticisms such as work, technics and pressure, in order that we can open a significant dimension of Zhuangzi (C.369-286 BCE)'s careless wandering and it's contemporary relevance. The four themes in this article are relative to each other. By late Jünger (1895-1998), work and technics are united. And such unity between work and technics make human being to a status of standing reserve, such status is the main pressure of modern people. To overcome such status, Fink (1905-1975) proposes the concept of play, which is similar to Zhuangzi's concept of careless wandering.
