试论道家守愚为智的人生哲学

On the Taoist Philosophy of Llife:Keeping Simple as Wisdom

"愚"作为道家哲学的外在形象,内含着一种至高的人生境界。这种以"无为"为根本依据的"愚",展露着人生追求的高超智慧,看似以静为主的内在要求,实则蕴含着巨大的处事动能,因此,道家"守愚为智"的哲学思想本质上是一种"大智若愚"的内在规定。其不仅有着严密的哲学依据和丰富的理论来源,而且对东亚地区尤其是对中国人的处事方式产生着深远的影响。在生态危机日益严重的今天,道家守愚为智的哲学思想较之西方理性的无限膨胀,更符合自然的法则,是一剂缓和人类危机的良药。

As the external image of Taoist philosophy,“Foolish”implies a lofty quality of life.Basing on the doc-trine of“inaction”,“foolish”shows great wisdom in pursuing life goal,which seems to require stillness internally, but implies great dynamics in dealing with affairs,so Taoist doctrine of“keeping Simple as wisdom”essentially em-bodies the doctrine of“still water runs deep”.It not only has strict philosophical basis and profound theoretical sources,but also influences greatly the way of behavior in East Asian region,especially the Chinese.Nowaday, under the context of increasingly serious ecological crisis,compared with western rationalism,Taoism thought is more in line with the laws of nature and is a dose of medicine to easing human crisis.
