雅斯贝尔斯对老子“孤独”的关注

Analysis on Jaspers' Understanding of Laozi's Solitary

德国哲学家雅思贝尔斯在其作品《大哲学家》中,囊括了中外数十位哲学家的哲学思想,中国的老子和孔子也在其中。在阐释老子的哲学思想时,为了使老子本身显得更为真实和感人,雅思贝尔斯对老子其人在世间的命运,即"孤独",给予了独特的关注,这与雅斯贝尔斯自身的生活经历和学术背景有密切的联系。文章首先简要概括了雅斯贝尔斯"轴心时代"这一世界哲学思想,而后阐述了他在《大哲学家》中对中国思想家老子的关注,最后分析了他关注老子是否"孤独"这一现象的原因。

Karl Jaspers,a German philosopher,wrote dozens of philosophers from all over the world in his book ＂The Great Philosophers＂where Laozi is also included. Jaspers paid much attention to Laozi＇s idea of solitary while elaborating his philosophy. This is closely due to Jaspers＇ life experience and academic background. Jaspers＇ philosophy of＂Axial Era＂is introduced briefly and then his understanding of Laozi in ＂The Great Philosophers＂is expounded. In the end,the reason why he is interested in Laozi＇s idea of ＂solitary＂is analyzed.
