Sommario/riassunto

This book delves into a broad range of hitherto unresolved issues related to Zhuangzi’s ethics, which include, but are not limited to, the fundamental question of whether Zhuangzi should be regarded as a



moralist in the ordinary sense and what Zhuangzi’s views on topics such as equality, moral relativism, good life, intersubjective relations, and social harmony really are. The twelve contributors to this book deliberate on these issues in six debates centering on recent influential publications in the field. In each debate, the relevant publications will be first challenged by their critic and then defended by their author, through which different and competing interpretations of Zhuangzi’s ethical themes will directly confront each other. These author-meets-critic debates will not only reflect what is currently at stake in discussing Zhuangzi’s ethics but also engage and enrich the state of the field today. This volume serves as a good companion to scholars, as well as graduate-level students, who are interested in gaining philosophical and ethical insights from Zhuangzi and Chinese philosophy in general.

Sommario/riassunto

This book summarizes and records the recent notable advances in diverse topics in organic crystal chemistry, which has made substantial progress along with the rapid development of a variety of analysis and measurement techniques for solid organic materials. This volume follows previously published volumes that are prepared periodically, at least every 5 years, with contributions by prominent authors in Japan and from abroad. The first volume was published in 2015, which systematically summarized the remarkable progress in assorted topics of organic crystal chemistry using organic solids and organic–inorganic hybrid materials. The second volume, published in 2020, presented advances in organic solid-state chemistry mainly from 2016 to 2020. The present volume also shows the progress of organic solid-state, especially focusing on crystalline functional materials with mechanical, luminescent, electrical and magnetic properties that have been achieved mainly in the last 5 years or so. The topics that this book dealt with, which have been rapidly developed in the last decade, will be of interest not only to researchers of organic crystals but also to those in photochemistry, materials chemistry molecular science and applied physics.
