20.500.12556/RUL-178264 Zhuangzi and the Friendship of Non-Friendship Zhuangzi in prijateljstvo neprijateljstva Bidding farewell to a friend is a moment of change, not in terms of the nature of the friendship, but the proximity of nothingness between oneself and another. Existing studies on friendship in Daoism can be grouped into two broad camps: one favours comparison with notable Western thinkers such as Aristotle and Derrida to establish its ethical ground, while the other favours characterizing it as a shared experience, typically involving death or self-forgetting. This paper takes a different approach by arguing that Daoist friendship does not lie with the physical self or its emotional disposition but the nothingness of the in-between—the domain of the interhuman encounter. Focusing on the Zhuangzi, this paper will also argue that Daoist friendship can be reframed as the friendship of non-friendship. Slovo od prijatelja, prijateljice je trenutek spremembe, ne v smislu narave prijateljstva, temveč bližine ničnosti med seboj in drugim. Obstoječe študije o prijateljstvu v daoizmu lahko razdelimo v dve široki skupini: ena daje prednost primerjavi z uglednimi zahodnimi mislicami in misleci, kot sta Aristotel in Derrida, da bi utemeljila njegovo etično osnovo, medtem ko druga poudarja njegovo opredelitev kot skupno izkušnjo, ki običajno vključuje smrt ali pozabo samega sebe. Ta članek zavzema drugačen pristop, saj trdi, da daoistično prijateljstvo ne temelji na fizičnem jazu ali njegovem čustvenem stanju, temveč na ničnosti vmesnega – na področju medčloveškega srečanja. S poudarkom na delu Zhuangzi bo članek prav tako zagovarjal, da je mogoče daoistično prijateljstvo preoblikovati v prijateljstvo neprijateljstva. friendship interhuman encounter nothingness Zhuangzi Daoism prijateljstvo medčloveško srečanje nič Zhuangzi daoizem true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-01-22 10:54:37 2026-01-22 10:54:39 2026-01-27 10:58:47 0000-00-00 00:00:00 0 0 0 Str. 57-72 no. 2 Vol. 13 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-05-09 2232-5131 2350-4226 https://doi.org/10.4312/as.2025.13.2.57-72 RAZ_Chai_David_0.pdf RAZ_Chai_David_0.pdf 1 F5517F8F7AB93ED0BDAF6FD0C6D58E8A 029826d2cd6079d20615eee3bd2b09b84a190730e20bbe42ec9a03ad09db89dd 80b5802b-f778-11f0-a1ba-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=225941 https://journals.uni-lj.si/as/article/view/19843 0 5dc0d99d-f778-11f0-a1ba-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=225940 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
