“真”的追问——道家人性论的思维特质及其现代价值

Question of "Truth" ──The thought particularity and modern value of Taoism's humanity

中国古代众多哲学流派的思想家都试图通过对人性的分析和探究来获得对宇宙、自然和人类自身本源的认识。与其他哲学流派不同的是 ,道家从“真”与“伪”的维度对人性进行界定和分析 ,展开了对“真”的追问和探索 ,把保持和尊重人的天性作为人类的立身之本 ,凸显出道家人性论的思维特质。道家对“真”的认识 ,直接指向回归人性、顺应人性 ,这一点对于在现实世界改变人生态度、实现人生理想、提高人生价值以及升华人性 ,显然是有其理论价值和优越性的。

Thinkers of many philosophical schools in ancient China try to achieve the understanding of the universe, the nature and the human being itself through analysis and exploration into the humanity. Different from the others, Taoism analyzes the humanity from the dimension of 'Truth' and 'False', and regards keeping and respecting the human nature as existing roots, which manifests the characteristic thought of Taoistic humanity. It points to the returning and the acclimation of humanity and has its theory value and superiority.
