（齊物論〉是莊子內七篇之一，更是《莊子》一書的義理核心，而「齊 物」解為「平等之理想」，則揭櫫了莊子哲學的基礎原理。本文從哈伯瑪斯的交 談倫理出發，並通過對話理論，試圖在莊子〈齊物論〉建構其語言批判的同時， 抉取莊子理解行動的倫理意含，並由此釐清莊子哲學中思維、語言、行動與生活 世界的緊密關系。由此，作者乃扣緊語言與交談所涉及的意義範疇，進入〈齊物 論〉所顯豁的超是非齊死生以通人我與天地的「道」中。如此，吾人應大有機會 在「道通為一」的的深廣向度引領之下，自莊子的倫理關懷轉向此生此世，以回 應理論世界與生活世界雙重的挑戰。而終得以逐步體現「道」作為實存理則與實 踐法則的永�皕N義及理想意義。

"The Equality of Things," meaning the ideal of equality, is the center of Zhuang Zi and the rationale of Zhuang Zi's philosophy. In this paper, we first discuss Habermas's Conversational Ethics. Then, through the dialogic theory, we try to grasp the ethical meaning of Zhuang's Zi's understanding of "Action", while "The Equality of Things" was a construction of Zhuang's Zi's linguistic criticism. And then we can sort out the close relationships between Thought, Language, Action and the Living World in Zhuang Zi's philosophy. Therefore, I follow the meanings implied by Language and Conversation to approach the Way (Tao)--transcending right and wrong, identifying life and death, as well as relating others to oneself and heaven to earth-illuminated in "The Equality of Things." Thus, under the profound guidance of Zhuang's Zi's seeing beings as one and equal, we could turn from Zuang's Zi's ethical concerns to this life to respond to the dual challenges of the theoretical and the living worlds. Eventually we will be able to fulfill step by step the Way (Tao) as the eternal and ideal meanings of the logos of beings and the law of praxis.
