A major debate in Xúnzǐ scholarship concerns whether he thought this concept is created or discovered. Xúnzǐ analyzes the importance of ritual by contrasting knowing heaven and knowing this concept. The Xuánxué movement primarily studied the I Ching and texts that explore this concept. The distinction between social and natural versions of this concept is blurred in a work that criticizes “this-not-that” judgments. This concept can be sought through (*) zìrán and wú wéi, and is “very even” despite how people fail to follow it according to a text named for this concept. That text also states that if this concept can be named, it is not the true version of this concept. For 10 points, name this concept, which names a school of thought that includes thinkers like Zhuāngzǐ and Lǎozǐ. ■END■
