论《老子》的处世思想及其当代价值

Lao-Tzu's Living Philosophy and its Value

《老子》的处世思想是以"道"为核心,基于对"道"的特性、运行规律及"道"化生万物理论认知的基础之上。《老子》的处世思想主要包括:"见素抱朴""虚静""无为"的生活态度;"不敢为天下先"与"柔弱不争"的处世观念;"身不居功"与"功遂身退"的旷达情怀。《老子》的处世思想在今天看来,依然具有很重要的理论意义与实践价值。

＂Tao＂is at the core of Lao- tzu living philosophy. Being on the basis of Tao＇s character,working principle and the cognition that the universe is created out of Tao,Lao- Tzu＇s living philosophy includes his life attitude of＂revealing simple self,embracing the original nature＂,＂passivity and quietude＂,and＂no action＂; his living concept of ＂never being the first in the world＂and ＂being tender and weak＂; his noble sentiment of ＂claiming no credit when you accomplish the task＂and ＂retiring when your work is done＂. These living philosophies still have their theoretical and practical significance in today＇s life.
