摘要

莊子的哲學玄妙精深，其學說大抵在破除世人悅生而惡死的心理，以為若吾人能打破心知的定限，進而視萬物為一，死亡便無法成為吾人的負累，更不足以掛懷，如此便可超越死亡。這種思想對人面對死亡時發揮很大的作用，同時產生極深遠的影響，而對現今的生死教育，其意義自不待言。尤其重要的是，它的生死教育能使生死教育的教學者獲得莫大的啟示。可惜歷來研究者大多忽略這個重要的部分。故本論文旨在透過闡析莊子對死亡的超越，揭示他對生死教育教學者到底帶來甚麼啟示，以使他們不僅在理論上，獲得莊子的生死智慧，而在實踐上，更能將其智慧落實在教學中。

Chuang Tzu's thought was profound, succinct and too deep for words. Generally speaking, his philosophy aimed at eliminating our view of preferring life than death. He believed that if we judge or evaluate anything without prejudice then we can realize the whole world as an unity. The death will not become our burden and we shall free from cares. So we can transcend the death. This kind of thought not only generates a great function when we confront the death but also has a deep influence upon us not to mention the education of life and death nowadays, among other things, it enlightens instructors of the education of life and death. Unfortunately, most of us neglect to pay more attention on this important part. Therefore, my thesis aims at expounding and analyzing the transcendency of death of Chuang Tzu then reveals what kind of enlightenment did he give to instructors of the education of life and death so that they can obtain more wisdom from him and put this wisdom into practice.
