Also, the Zhuangzi tells us, conventional knowledge can actually inhibit or suppress our natural skills because it overlays them with its veneer of would-be “knowledge” (which is a kind of misunderstanding of underlying reality).
Zhuangzi was also skeptical that xin (mind-heart) is the basis of our moral capacity (as in the case of other philosophies, such as Confucianism).
To Zhuangzi, the human mind-heart or xin is limited by its own individual consciousness and perspective, therefore it cannot fully experience the Dao or reality. To experience the Dao as it is, one must get out of one’s own perspective and sense of self.
In Daoism, the mind-heart is associated with the limitations of human society, which should be transcended.
