本論文旨在探討莊子的「物化」觀，主要以<<莊子>>內篇<齊物論>一文中「莊周 夢蝶」之寓言為主， 亦與 << 莊子 >> 外、雜篇論及「物化」一辭之篇章如 < 知北遊 >、 < 天道 >、< 刻意 >、< 達生 >、< 則陽 > 篤等參酌輔證。 全文分兩部分論述：先就與莊 子「物化」觀有關之文獻作一探討，則可見對莊子「物化」觀的詮釋，不外有或就宇宙萬物 的遷流變化而言，「物化」即是生死的自然變化之理，此其一也；「物化」即是生物自然進 化之道，此其二也。或以「物化」即是萬物化而為一的境界，此其三也。關此逐一論述辨析 後，再就「莊周夢蝶」之義理辯證層層展開，而見莊子的「物化觀本是透過「心齋」、「坐 忘」等修養工夫所達到物我合一的生命境界。
