Abstract
Heidegger's interest in Asian thought is something recognized by the interpreters of his work. What is sought to be exposed here is part of that interest, analysing and contextualizing the presence of Chuang-tzu where Heidegger brings it to the collation with the purpose of interpreting the meaning of the useless. For Heidegger, the useless designates the specificity and character of philosophy and meditative thinking, while allowing human freedom and disposition to be thought from a non-utilitarian perspective of the technical world. In Chuang-tzu, Heidegger found a privileged interlocutor, using his parables to think of another way of realizing human habitation that requires the need to present and promote the cultivation of the useless.
