Abstract
This article explains illusion and dream with a special focus on freedom in Liezi. Liezi is called one of the three early Daoist texts with Daodejing and Zhuangzi. Compared with Daodejing and Zhuangzi, Liezi is not much regarded as classics and therefore there are not many studies on Liezi. Liezi is similar to Zhuangzi largely in style. They both consist of stories, which deliver philosophy. Some stories are similar in terms of plots and ideas. However, unlike Zhuangzi, Liezi is not much studied with a special focus on freedom. In this article, freedom is reinterpreted in the context of Liezi. The comparison of freedom in between Liezi and Zhuangzi will be meaningful to understand the concept of freedom in early Chinese text further and deeper.
