Han Fei's Strategy in Interpretation and Adaptation of the Laozi
Gajdošová, Kateřina ; Zádrapa, Lukáš (advisor) ; Vávra, Dušan (referee)
The bachelor thesis Han Fei's Strategy in Interpreting the Laozi deals with the first known commentary of the Laozi, one of the fundamental works of the so-called philosophical taoism, found in the work of Han Fei, the leading proponent of legalism. The work summarizes the current state of knowledge concerning the dating and authorship of the Laozi. It also outlines the broader context of the Warring States period thinking and draws attention to the problem of traditional categorization into schools of thought. The focus of the work is a philosophical analysis of the Jie Lao 解 老 and Yu Lao 喻老 chapters, as well as some other relevant chapters of the Hanfeizi. Han Fei's interpreting strategy is demonstrated on the examples taken from the two texts, accompanied by original translations for that purpose.
