基于“文化语境”的老子思想发生学研究现状与趋势

On the genesis of Laozi thought in the context of culture

老子思想的产生离不开其特定的历史文化语境,孕育老子思想的"文化语境"成为近、当代老学研究的重要转向。通过梳理自"古史辩派"(或称疑古派)以来国内外关于老子思想产生的文化语境研究,勾勒老子其人其书其术的生成、发展和演变的过程;通过对《老子》不同版本生成历程的考察,阐释老子思想在历史生命叙事中发生"变形"或"变异"的理路,从传播学和变异学的视角考察历史上老子思想不同的存在样态,进一步挖掘老子思想在不同历史文化场域中进行的"视域融合",分析未来世界老学研究的发展趋势。

The appearance of Laozi thought is closely connected to the specific historical cultural context which, in turn, gives rise to contemporary researches in Laozi. This paper reviews the academic researches for the purpose of clarifying the development of Laozi thought, finding out the transformation and variation, analyzing different aeademie or political schools directing the further explorations based on the theory of cultural contexts.
