A. C. Graham (1919-1991) was professor of Chinese, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, and a member of the British Academy.
Graham's study and translation of the Zhuangzi remains one of the
most valuable and important sources for students of Zhuangzi's
thought. The Introduction is remarkably rich, and the combination
of philological care and philosophical insight that Graham brings
to the text make this the most philosophically revealing and
productive translation available. --Philip J. Ivanhoe, Boston
University
More than just a translation of the renowned seven initial chapters
of this foundational Taoist text, Angus Graham's Chuang-Tzu: The
Inner Chapters includes about four-fifths of the entire work. It is
the only Western translation organized around the distinct
philosophical viewpoints in the text, and it is without a doubt the
most innovative, philologically precise and religiously
significant. It has been out of print for most of the past decade
and its republication is most welcome. --Harold D. Roth, Brown
University
Angus Graham was for many of us the most distinguished sinologist
of his generation. This annotated translation of the Zhuangzi is a
splendid demonstration that only his rare combination of
philological and philosophical acuity can provide the Western
reader nuanced access to the profundity and humor of one of the
world’s masterpieces of philosophical literature. --Roger T. Ames,
University of Hawaii
