本文由探討當代西方社會批判的主要論題「工作、技術、壓力」等等切入,試圖開顯莊子(C.369-286 BCE)逍遙遊的時代批判精神與當代相關性。文章所探討的四大主題之間具有潛藏的相關脈絡。工作與技術在晚期榮格爾(Ernst Jünger, 1895-1998)的看法中是結為一體的,而這種工作與技術的結合,使人成為海德格(Martin Heidegger, 1889-1976)所說的「儲置物」(Bestand),可以說是現代人壓力的最深來源。要克服這種「工作技術壓力」的結構,芬克(Eugen Fink, 1905-1975)提出遊戲的概念,這恰好與莊子的逍遙遊相呼應。
This article explores the mainly western social criticisms such as work, technics and pressure, in order that we can open a significant dimension of Zhuangzi (C.369-286 BCE)'s careless wandering and it's contemporary relevance.The four themes in this article are relative to each other. By late Jünger (1895-1998), work and technics are united. And such unity between work and technics make human being to a status of standing reserve, such status is the main pressure of modern people. To overcome such status, Fink (1905-1975) proposes the concept of play, which is similar to Zhuangzi's concept of careless wandering.
