先秦道家与西方个人主义思想之比较

Comparison of Pre-Qin Taoism and Western Ideas of Individualism

先秦道家与西方个人主义在总体上都宣扬个体至上,但是其具体的构成因子,即个人主义的人生价值观,个人主义的前提和基础,以及个人主义的矛盾解决方式,却是大相异趣的。在中西方文化大背景下对两种个人主义进行比较,有助于我们对先秦道家的个人主义进行现代化改造,从而更好地继承和弘扬中华民族的传统文化。

Pre-Qin Taoism and Western individualism in general are to promote the idea that the individual is supreme,but the specific factors that constitute the life values of individualism,the prerequisite and basis of individualism,as well as the contradiction between individualism solution are of great differences.In the context of comparison between the two types of individualism in the eastern and western cultures,the Pre-Qin Taoism helps us modernize individualism so as to carry on and forward the Chinese traditional culture.
