《庄子》哲学对老学发展的贡献

The contribution of Philosophy in Zhuangzi to the studies on Laozi

《庄子》对老学最重要的贡献之一,就是解决了如何"得道"的问题,本文称之为体道理论。庄子的辩证法源于老子的辩证法,老子的辩证法还只是个雏型,老子注意到了事物相互对立的关系,但老子未说明相互对立事物之间相互依存的关系是什么,相互对立的原因又是什么,而这一切,在庄子的辩证法中都得到了很明确的解释。把生命现象放到无限悠远的背景上去考察的方法,是《庄子》生命哲学一派以老子的道为平台,构建新理论的典范,因而是典型的对老学发展史的特殊贡献。

One of the most important contributions of Zhuangzi to the studies of Laozi, is that Zhuangzi solved the problem of how to gain natural laws. In this article, we name it the theory of comprehending natural laws. The dialectie of Zhuangzi rooted in Laozi＇ s. Dialectic of Laozi was only a rudiment. Laozi noticed the opposite relationship of things, but he couldn＇t explain the interdependent relationship of the opposite things, and the reason of the opposition. But in the dialectic of Zhuangzi, all the problems were explained expressly. The school of Zhuangzi＇ s life philosophy founded new theories basing on Laozi＇s natural laws. And the method of investigating life phenomenon in a distant background was a representative one among them. Therefore, it is a representative contribution to the history of the studies on Laozi.
