论福永光司的道教研究

On Fukunaga Mitsuji's Taoist Studies

福永光司作为当代日本道教研究的先驱者之一,从欣赏老庄思想到探讨黄老道家和魏晋玄学,然后进入道教研究领域。受京都学派的影响,福永光司从实证主义出发,通过对中日古典文献的爬梳剔抉,以历史叙述和文化比较的方法,来研究中国道教对日本的神道信仰、天皇制度、哲学思想和文化习俗的影响。福永光司从中日文化视野下来研究道教,以朴实学风来追求道教研究的科学性,他的颇有创意的道教观发表后,虽然受到了一些质疑,但对推动20世纪东亚道教研究的展开却起到了引领作用。

Fukunaga Mitsuji was one of the pioneers of Taoist studies in Japan.He first appreciated the thought of Laozi and Zhuangzi,then studied the Taoist school of Emperor Huang and Metaphysics of Wei and Jin,and finally involved himself in the field of Taoist studies.Influenced by the Kyoto school,he adopted an empirical approach to study the impact of Chinese Taoism on Japanese Shinto beliefs,tennoism,philosophy and cultural custom in sorting out relevant Chinese and Japanese classical documents through historical narration and cultural comparison.He used a simple study style and pursued the scientific nature of Taoism from the perspective of Chinese and Japanese culture.His creative views on Taoism,though somewhat questioned,played a leading role in the field of Taoist studies in 20th century East Asia.
