莊子的生死哲學玄妙精深，其學說大抵在破除世人對生死不連貫的理解狀態，若能破除心之定見的界線，視自然萬物為一，面對死亡便不是自身對未來不確定的心理負擔，因而可從對死亡的困惑及對死亡的焦慮中解脫出來，如此便可超越死亡對自身不自由的心理限制。若這種死亡思想的自我內化得以發揮作用，同時產生於親族朋友之間，對當今的生死教育觀念，其意義自不待言。故本論文旨在透過闡析莊子對死亡的超越，揭示他對生死觀的詮釋與實踐到底帶來甚麼啟示，以使普羅大眾不僅在生活上，獲得莊子的生死智慧，更能將其智慧落實在生活實踐中發揮其各自的影響力。
Zhuangzi’s philosophy of life and death is abstruse. It eradicates people’s view of disconnect route between life and death. We are able to extricate from the bewilderment and anxiety about death, if we accept “All is one” in our universe, therefore we overcome our foreshadowing psychological limits of death which causes the loss of human freedom.
Internalizing Zhuangzi’s philosophy of life and death and sharing it with the people in our lives, make meaningful contributions toward the education of life and death in our society.
The aim of this thesis is to elucidate Zhuangzi’s philosophy of life and death and its revelations that bring wisdom toward us and therefore benefit the quality of our lives.
