“道”的诠释——论《老子》思想中的科学思维方式

The Interpretation of “Tao”: the Scientific Way of Thinking in “I”

《老子》是中国古代的文本,科学一般被认为是现代西方的产物,但是两者所要诠释的最终对象或者探索的目标,都是宇宙的真理,即"道"。哲学具有的前瞻性和预见性就决定了《老子》中必然包含着探寻"道"的途径,与现代科学存在着一致性,包括有机整体思想、动态变化观念和直觉思维方法。《老子》中所包含的思维方式的三方面,不仅对中国古代科学形成独特的模式具有重要作用,对今天人类文明的发展仍颇具价值。

“I”is the ancient Chinese text, while science is generally considered to be the product of modern western. But in the end both is to explain or explore the truth of the universe, i.e.“Tao”. The prediction and foresightness of philosophy determines that “I” contains the exploration of the ways of realizing “Tao”, which is consistent with modern science. “I” also includes organic wholism, dynamic concepts and intuitive thinking method. These aspects included in the mode of thinking not only play an important role in forming the unique pattern of Chinese ancient science, but also are conducive to the development of human civilization.
