摘要

莊子約生於西元前三百六十多年，他是中國偉大的哲學家之一，對生死有深刻的體悟，及獨到與精闢的見解，當他面對妻子死時，猶能「鼓盆而歌」，甚至死後要以「天地爲棺槨」，願將自己的屍體爲「烏薦與蟑蟻食」，這種生死齊一的坦然與豁達態度，對人在面臨死亡時能發揮極大的作用，對生死教育也產生極深達的影響，可說是生死教育的最佳典範。由於目前臺灣的生死教育大多引進西方的理論，對於東方的生死哲學反而缺乏深刻的論述，及廣泛地運用，只是囫圇吞棗。故生死教育急需運用莊子的生死哲學建立一個建全的思想體系，使吾人能吸取其智慧，並使吾人的生死教育更健全及更具效力。本論文即旨在透過莊子的生死哲學，闡發其對生死教育的諸多啟示，以供關心莊于生死哲學及生死教育者參考。

Chuang Tzu was born about 360 years BC he was one of the greatest Chinese philosopher, a deep understanding of life and death, and unique and insightful views, when he faced his wife died, still able to ”beating a basin and sing along”, and even death to the ”sky and earth as the coffin”, willing to give their corpse to be other's meal, like the body of birds at last turn into meals for ants. And that the death of frank and open-mindedness of a homogeneous manner, when people are dying to play a significant role in on the life and death education also has a very profound impact, can be said that the best example of Life and death education. The education for life and death needs to employ Chuang Tzu’s philosophy of life and death to construct a perfect system in order to make it more complete, efficient and easy to obtain its goal due to the fact that the education for Life and death in Taiwan nowadays introduced too many western theories of life and death and we do not have a deep interpretation of Chinese philosophy of life and death as well as use it widely. The thesis aims at expounding Chuang Tzu's philosophy of life and death influences upon the education of life and death through his philosophy in order to provide some references for the one who concerns about Chuang Tzu's philosophy of life and death and the education for life and death
