论老子哲学的体用观

View about Entity and Function of Lao zi' Philosophy

在中国哲学史上,老子首次对"体"、"用"范畴作了深刻阐述,提出了"有之以为利,无之以为用"、"反者道之动,弱者道之用"、"以正治国,以奇用兵"等观点,流露了体用一源、即体即用、体用无定的思想。

In the Chinese philosophy history, Lao zi made the profound elaboration about the categories of Entity and Function for the first time. He uncovered the relationship in philosophy between abstract essence and Concrete thing, and he valued the movement to reverse direction and the softness.
