ABSTRACT

Oscar Wilde, the renowned British writer, was deeply influenced by Eastern culture, particularly by Chuang Tsu’s “Thought of Doing Nothing”, a Taoist concept of human conduct. Wilde not only embraced this philosophy, but also incorporated it into his literary creations and art criticism, enhancing the steadfastness of his own value judgments.
