'Musings of a Chinese Mystic' is a classic selection from the philosophical writings of Chuang Tzu, a disciple of the great Taoist philosopher Lao Tzu. An important figure in Chinese philosophy, Chuang Tzu helped to bring prominence to the philosophy of Taoism in ancient China. Drawn from the translations of Professor H. A. Giles with an introduction by Lionel Giles, 'Musings of a Chinese Mystic' is an excellent introduction to the important Taoist philosophical writings of Chuang Tzu.
