“以道观之”与构建人类命运共同体

From the Perspective of “Tao” and Building a Community with Shared Future for Mankind

中国古代传统哲学智慧"以道观之",其实质意义在于教人站在"道"的立场来看待事物,以此来消解"以物观之"给人类造成的种种矛盾、冲突和争斗。这一智慧对当今构建人类命运共同体具有重要意义。建构人类命运共同体是当今时代的必然抉择,在这一建构过程中,需要全人类学习"以道观之"的智慧,拥有一种全球视野和"天下"胸怀,从而突破民族、国家、地区疆域的限囿,超越文化、宗教信仰、意识形态和地缘政治局限。当代"以道观之"的立足点是人类共同利益,但在以民族国家为主体的今天,需要正确认识和处理人类共同利益与民族国家利益的关系。

The wisdom of the ancient Chinese philosophy of"taking the Taoist view"lies in teaching people to look at things from the standpoint of"Tao",to dissolve the various contradictions,conflicts of mankind caused by the materialist view.This wisdom is of great significance for building a community of shared future for mankind today.Building a community with shared future for mankind requires all human beings adopt the wisdom of"taking the Taoism view",hold a global vision and"international"mindset,so as to go beyond the limits of nations,countries,and regional boundaries,and transcend cultural,religious,ideological,and geopolitical limitations.The contemporary standpoint of"Taoist view"is based on"the common interests of mankind".However,as national states remain the main body today,it is necessary to keep in perspective and handle properly the relationship between the"common interests of mankind"and the"interests of a national state".
