庄子政治思想初探

A Study of Zhuang Zi's Political Thought

庄子是先秦时期的唯心主义大家,学界对他的哲学思想研究较多,但很少注意他的政治思想。事实上,在中国古代政治思想的形成、发展过程中,庄子同样是不可忽视的。从《庄子》等典籍的研读来看,庄子主张统治者治世要使人恢复人之常性,实行无而治,使社会回到至善至美的自然中,恢复正常状态。虽然其治世方案是消极的甚而有些颓废,但从中也包含着一些独特的见解。

Zhuang Zi was an outstanding idealist in the Pre-Qing period. Studies are drawn more to his philosophical thought than to his political thought, which in fact cannot be overlooked for the origin and evolution of Chinese ancient political thought. His works show he advocated that the ruler restore the normal humanity, govern by noninterference, and lead the society back to its perfect natural state. His governing plan is decadent but with no lack of original insights
