道家传统文化在当代道德建设中的价值

Value of Taoist Culture in Contemporary Moral Construction

目前中国社会正处在史无前例的社会转型期,传统的价值观念已经式微无力,新的价值体系又建立不起来,因而产生了空前的道德困境和信仰危机。而道家文化中的道法自然、清静寡欲、自然无为、返朴归真、天道承负等思想元素,可以安妥抚慰人们的心灵,成为当下人们突围道德困境和信仰危机的重要文化资源。深入挖掘道家文化资源,不仅可以化解生命个体的信仰危机,而且可以为当下社会的道德危机探索解决路径。

At present the Chinese society is in the period of unparalleled social transformation. Tradi- tional values have declined and the new value system has not be established, resulting in an unprecedent- ed moral predicament and crisis of faith. Such ideological elements as the simplicity of Taoist laws, inner peace without desires, natural non-action, and reversion to one＇ s true nature in Taoist culture can soothe the hearts of the people, which becomes an important cultural resource for people to break the moral di- lemma and the crisis of faith. Exploring deeply the cultural resources of Taoism can not only resolve the individual life＇s belief crisis, but also solve the path for the moral crisis of contemporary society.
