论老子哲学思维方式及其现代价值

On Philosophical Thinking of Lao-tzu and Its Modern Value

超越性、否定性及中和性思维是老子所以被称为道家创始人的一个重要标志。其超越性思维重在超越名利、是非、生死,其价值在于拓展了现代人的生存空间。其否定性思维重在运用以反为正、以反求正的方式保存事物的正面,其价值在于以"理性的机巧"启迪现代人善于把握反向用力。其中和性思维,重在阐述道和、人和、生命和的和谐观,其价值在于为实现当今世界和平提供了理念上的根源性支持。

Lao-tzu was regarded as founder of Taoism because of his thinking mode of transcendency,negativity and neutrality.His thinking of transcendency laid great importance to transcending fame and gain,right and wrong as well as life and death,which was important to extend living space of modern people.His thinking of negativity stressed on preserving the obverse in a way of taking reverse as obverse and seeking obverse with reverse,the value of which was enlightening modern people with 'cunning of reason' to grasp the reverse.His thinking of neutrality emphasized harmony of universe,human and life,which provided a foundational support for the peace of present world.
