“自然”关照下的生命存在与境界——老子德论初探

De Theory of LaoZi Preliminary Study

老子德论是关于人生价值和价值实现途径的学说。老子"道德合一"的本体观体用形态,既逻辑地展现了老子哲学的德论主题,又首次点明了"德"即得"道"之德性的内涵和实质,并内在地构成德论之"道——德性——德行"的逻辑结构。"自然"的理念则是贯穿老子德论的基本原则。这一逻辑结构内在地体现了老子德论之本体论、价值论、修养论等基本内容,以及德论的基本特征。

＂The Doctrine of De＂ advanced by Laozi is a theory which is concerned with life value and the way of its realization. The form of body and function reflected in Laozi＇ s ontology is characterized by the oneness of Dao and De. Therefore, Logically speaking, it not only displays that De is the main theme of Laozi＇ s philosophy but also for the first time reveals the connotation and essence of ＂De＂ which originates from the application of Dao, thus intrinsically forming a logical structure whose order goes from Dao to De （ virtue） and finally to virtuous conduct. The idea of nature is a basic principle which runs through the Doctrine of De by Laozi. The logical structure itself manifests fundamental contents of the Doctrine of De, which are ontology, value and self - cultivation. In the meantime, the elementary characteristics of Doctrine of De can also be found in this structure.
