Supports the school of the way or daojia. Focuses on a holistic way philosophy of life, encouraging disengagement from the artificialities of socialization, and cultivation of man's natural "ancestral" potencies and skills, in order to live a simple and natural, but full and flourishing life. Critical of the ordinary categorizations and evaluation, noting the multiplicity of different modes of understanding between different creatures, culture and philosophical schools, and the lack of an independent means of making a comparative evaluation. Advocates a mode of understanding that is not committed to a fixed system, but is fluid and flexible, and that maintains a provisional, pragmatic attitude towards the applicability of the categories and evaluation.
