摘要
一、小引《史记·老子列传》载:“老子者,楚苦县厉乡曲仁里人也,姓李氏,名耳,字聃,周守藏室之史也。”关于老子的真实姓名、籍贯、身分等,古书上历来说法不一,学界亦颇多聚讼,甚至有人怀疑历史上老子其人的存在,怀疑《老子》一书的真伪。但真正能经得起考验的,还是《史记》中的这20几个字。近年考古发现证明,不仅实有老子其人,而且《老子》一书亦确属老子的手笔。老子和印度很有因缘,而且这因缘早在一千七八百年前就结下了,至今未断。下面分三个环节(唐以前、唐代和现当代)来谈,最后再谈谈这因缘所由发生的内在根由。
This paper offers an analytical interpretation of the legends about Laozi, the
alleged founder of Taoism, and about his supposed association with India. The
author has also examined the factors that account for what he terms as the
Indian bias towards Laozi′s philosophy.
