论庄子的生死观及其悲剧心态

On the Conception of Chuang-tzu and the Tragedy Mentality

庄子的生死观认为,道为万物之源,世间万物都在不停的变化,生死更是如此,气聚为生,气散为死。生死是很自然的事,将生与死等量齐观。这种对生死的大彻大悟的背后其实是体现出了庄子的一种悲剧心态。庄子既不满于现实,却又无力改变,最后只能逃回内心深处,企图把自己泯灭在逍遥自由的空间里,获得精神上的绝对自由。也可以说是庄子对生活采取了一种消极避世的态度。因此庄子的生死观在对于生和死做出了自我的哲学判断的同时也反映出了庄子对于自己所期求而不得,退守精神家园的一种悲剧心态。

The conception of Chuang- tzu about death implies that Tao is the source of universe which is always constantly changing. Especially, life and death is always changing, too, Qi decides the matter of life and death. Chuang - tzu holds that life and death is a very natural thing and calls for ＂security at harmony＂. He is against the violation of the laws of nature and stresses the value of life. At last, you would achieve the complete liberation of the spiritual. However, this open- minded altitude about living and dying just reflects a tragic state of Chuang - tzu＇s mind that people could not change the process of death and life. So he thinks people have to submit. In fact, the sense of hopelessness comes from this upsetting world and is difficult to change. He has to recoil from the reality and regain his own world and dim the sense of self- existence. This actually shows a tragic state of mind.
