title = "Zhuangzi and Agricultural Ethics",
abstract = "Paul Thompson (The agrarian vision. University Press of Kentucky, Lexington, 2010) has developed a virtue-based view of agriculture, and claims that it is the key to environmental sustainability. This chapter aims to improve upon this agrarian view by exposing some of the theoretical defects inherent in it, and by showing how those defects may be overcome by incorporating some alternative ways of thinking about the man-nature relationship from the perspective of Zhuangzi{\textquoteright}s philosophy. This agrarian, Dao-constrained, position is developed on the basis of a no-self thesis proposed in Cheng{\textquoteright}s (Philosophy East and West 64:563–597, 2014) reading of the dream of the butterfly.",
