		And Brook Ziporyn unpacks Zhuang Zi's "radical relativism," which privileges the claim that "all things are one" precisely by its affirmation of all claims in general.
		In contrast, Zhuang Zi's ming is amoral in nature, and in its optimum mode, it is ironically darkness par excellence.
		I argue that Zhuang Zi, in the Inner Chapters, is both uncompromising in rejecting the possibility of any unbiased or universal perspective and elaborates and privileges a particular perspective-the perspective that all things are one, that all perspectives are equal.

		When people are allowed to fully express their natural ability, Chuang Zi claims, there is no need for government, since it is a law of nature that people will be able to find their own levels of relative happiness.
