庄子的批判精神和自由追求

On the Philosopher Zhuangzi' Critical Spirit and His Pursuit of Freedom

庄子作为先秦道家的著名代表,其思想并非是反道德的,也不是“蔽于天而不知人”。他以自然(“道”)为精神追求或理论视察的起点,通过对现实社会的政治、道德状况的否定性洞察审视,而归宿到个人精神自由的获得或生命的保障,从而形成了极具朴素人学意味的道德观。这一道德观,不仅具有思想史上的意义,更具有现实意义。

Asa mature statesman of Taoist thought of the Pre-Qin period, Zhuangzi＇s thought is not abnormal. He does not pay great attention to Tian and ignore people＇s ability, either. He considers Way as a starting point of spiritual pursuit or theoretical observation. His thought goes back to obtaining personal spiritual liberty and life guarantee finally through negative insight of political, moral conditinon in the realistic society, and he also forms the moral concept which is very severe and has the significance of knowledge about people. This moral concept not only has the meaning of a history of ideas, but also has practical meaning.
