庄子自由理性的特质及其影响——以“游”为中心而论

The character of Zhuang Zi's free reason and its influence--Centered on "roaming

老子是“政治性的动物” ,而庄子则是“非政治性的动物” ;老子的自由主要体现为政治上的“自治” ,而庄子的自由则表现为精神领域的解放和超越。“逍遥”和“游”是庄子的两个非常独特的观念 ,二者体现了庄子自由精神的基本形态。庄子以“游”和“逍遥”所确立的独特的“精神自由”、“精神乐园”和“精神故乡”极具诱惑力。庄子为中国知识阶层追求自由精神不仅奠定了“诗意性”的观念基础 ,而且也以自己的行动为士人树立了一个榜样。

Lao Zi is a 'political creature' while Zhuang Zi is an 'apolitical creature'. The liberty for Lao Zi is mainly represented as certain 'autonomy' in politics while the liberty for Zhuang Zi is attributed to the liberation and transcendence of mind. The two particular concepts of 'carefree liberty' and 'roaming' have reflected Zhuang Zi's fundamental type of free mind. The quite fascinating ideas are those established on the concepts of 'carefree liberty' and 'roaming', such as the unique 'mind liberty', 'spiritual paradise' and 'spiritual homeland'. Zhuang Zi not only has laid down a conceptual foundation for Chinese intellectuals in their pursuit of free mind, but also set up a model for them with his acts.
