论“无为”思想的社会现实意义

On the Social Significance of"Inaction"

老子"无为"思想的提出,有着特殊的社会背景。历史的发生与发展证明,老子的"无为"思想在战乱时期是不适合的,甚至是消极的;但在和平时期,尤其是在今天的社会里,老子的"无为"思想有着发挥指导作用的场所。人类社会的前进是在有为中进行的,然而有为在带来方便的同时,也带来了很多难以解决的问题,甚至是灾难。因此,在今天社会,我们需要保持无为心态,更需要尊重自然,尊重社会,尊重他人,尊重自己,以无为之心态,行有为有意义之积极事。

Laozi＇s ＂quietism＂ was proposed on a special social background. The development of history tells us that ＂quietism＂ is not suitable, even negative in times of peace. However, at the peaceful times, especially in the society today, it plays a role in guiding people＇s behavior. The advancement of human society is proceeded in the sense of activity. It brings with convenience as well as problems, even disasters. Therefore, in nowadays, we need to keep an attitude of inaction. What＇s more, we need to respect nature, the society, others and ourselves, and do things of significance and activity with the attitude of inaction.
