老子“无为而治”思想探析

Briefly Analyse Lao Zi′s Thought of ″Governing by Doing Nothing That Goes against Nature ″

处在春秋大动乱时期的老子反对统治者“有为”之政,主张“无为而治”,“无为而治”是形而上之“道”在政治领域的落实、运用,它要求统治者清静寡欲,绝巧弃智,以民为本。“无为而治”在当今仍具有一定的现实意义。

In the times of turmoil at the Spring and Autumn Period, Lao Zi was against the “Purposeful Politics”by the rulers and stood for “Governing by doing nothing that goes against nature” , which was Tao＇s practice and application in the political realm. To get the “Governing by doing nothing that goes against nature”, the rulers should be peaceable and less of desire and do away with the deceit and meet the needs of people too. At present“ Governing by doing nothing that goes against nature”still has its specific realistic significance.
