Hui Shih
Hui Shih (4th cent. BCE). Chinese philosopher and friend of Chuang-tzu, who taught by paradox and the unification of opposites. Everything is relative to something else, and thus is not absolutely great or small, etc.; but that suggests a standard of the infinitely great outside which nothing can lie, and of the infinitely small within which nothing can be contained.
