This talk investigates elements of empathy in the classical Daoist text Zhuangzi in terms of four prominent aspects of current scholarship on empathy: different types of empathy; the other-centeredness of empathy; empathy as a process and the role empathy plays in responsiveness to others; and interaction between empathy and other capacities. While the Zhuangzi does not invent any specific term for an exclusive designation of empathy, it does pay great attention to the phenomena of empathy. It characterizes central features of empathy, such as other-centeredness, perceptual directness, its function as listening, mirroring, qi-energy-connecting and receptivity, how to cultivate one’s empathic capacity in one's encounter with others, and especially how empathy works with the Daoist forgetfulness of self-centricity.
