Zhuang Tzu Bronislav Vinogrodsky. Book on Knowledge and Power

"Sleep Zhuang Tzu", in which it seemed to him that he was a butterfly, and an awakening with the question "who dreams to whom? Butterfly chuang tzu or chuang tzu butterfly? " - Perhaps the most famous Chinese metaphor in the world about the structure of consciousness and knowledge of the world. Zhuang Tzu is the famous philosopher-demos and author of the Prove, occupying in the pantheon of Chinese culture a place to be commensurate with Confucius and Lao Tzu and, at the same time, special, since his works are available to the reader with any level of training and directly: as the text and figurative row. And these parables have a direct and direct action reader, transforming the symbols of funny and instructive stories into a charge of creative energy, which everyone is free to direct where he wants: to business, in self -development, in relations, in their own creativity. Because the great contemplator told us that he saw around him, constantly turning his eyes not on things, but for a while and the original in these things. In fact, the whole text speaks of things simple and ordinary, but as soon as they find themselves in the field of consideration of the wise, the great secret of this world is immediately manifested in them.
Bronislav Bronislavovich Vinogrodsky, a well-known translator, artist and expert in China for the first time in the history of reading and knowing Zhuang Tzu did not make a literal translation, but retold the entire well-known vault in modern language. “I think,” Bronislav Bronislavovich writes in the introduction, “that each reader will read the book in his own way, draws his conclusions from the read. Namely, for this everything is written. I am sure that you will return to this book many times, because at every new stage of cognition your vision will change, and the inexhaustible depth of ancient wisdom will always be a source of insight and inspiration for a thoughtful reader. Therefore, wander in the unlimited waves of your will, the will of this world. Good travels, knowledge, will and power to you, primarily over yourself, because there is no other power in this world and cannot be. ”
