老子道学与21世纪人类文明

The Taoism of Lao-zi and the Human Civilization of the 21st Century

本文旨在经由"道家哲学"与"21世纪人类文明"的对比,凸显"文明"中严重的"文蔽"问题,并应用笔者近十余年来所提出的"道家式的存有治疗学",给出治疗的可能。本文依循《道德经》的"四大",阐释"人"在"三才"中的处境,并进一步诠释"地"的"具体性生长","天"的"普遍性理想","道"的"总体性根源",从而关联成一种"自发性的和谐"。通过"文明"与"文蔽"的对比,指出"话语"的两面性,进而指出须由"话语"归于"存有",由"言"入于"默",这是一个"消解"的过程,同时也是"治疗"与"批判"的过程,其最终必然指向"和谐的融通"。人们经由"致虚"、"守静",自能让"万物并作"、"归根复命",经由道家思想,将发现如此可以"复命曰常"、"知常曰明"。人类文明因之可以共生、共长、共存、共荣。

After a comparative study of ＂Taoist philosophy＂ and ＂civilization in the 21st century＂, this paper protrudes the uncivilized in civilization and sets forth the Taoist way of solution. According to the ＂Four Functions＂ of The Classics of the Tao and Virtue, man is expounded in the sky and earth, thus giving a spontaneous harmony. After a comparative study of civilization and the uncivilized, we know ＂discourse＂ has two faces, so ＂discourse＂ should belong to ＂being＂, and ＂words＂ to ＂silence＂, a process of ＂melting＂, ＂solution＂ and ＂criticism＂, which finally goes to the harmonious combination. Through void and quietness, man can return to his own original life. The human civilization can go forever.
