Description
Jane Bennett of Johns Hopkins University explores resemblance between the Zhuangzi, a foundational ancient text of Chinese Daoism, and the materialism of Lucretius's "De Rerum Natura." The two orientations affirm what the speaker calls the efficacy of the slight, or the salience of the most spare of shifts in the flavor of the real.
