儒道两家思想的内在联系与“分野”

Internal Relations and “Distinction” of Confucianism and Taoism

儒道两家是中国思想史上最重要的两大体系,关于两家之间的关系自古及今争论不断。从思想之为思想的规定性出发,儒道两家无论是在思想对象的客观存在、思想产生过程的思维方式方面,还是在作为思想结论的本体论方面都表现出高度的内在统一性特点。尽管两家在实践修养论观点上表现出"有为"和"无为"的分野,但是本质上无论是道家的"无为"还是儒家的"有为"其归旨都在于将人的实践与天道本体相同一,儒道两家仍然殊途而同归。儒道两家关系的本质是内在统一的。认清儒道两家的内在统一关系,对于现代文化建设有重要的意义。

Confucianism and Taoism are the two most important thoughts in the history of Chinese thought. The relation- ship between Confucianism and Taoism has been continued controversy since ancient times. Confucianism and Taoism exhibit a high degree in their ideas in objective existence, mode of thinking and the results of thinking. Although Confucianism adhere to ＂promising＂ but Taoism adhere to＂ inaction＂ in Practice Cultivation Method, however the final goal of Practice Cultivation Method are the same, that is makes the human practice consistent with the ontology. Confucianism and Taoism are different routes to the same. Confucianism and Taoism are essentially intrinsic unity. Recognize the intrinsic unity between the Confu- cianism and Taoism has important significance for the construction of modern culture.
