郭象“安任之道”探赜

An Exploration of Guo Xiang's “Way of Anren”

郭象提出"安任之道",是对君主专制的明确否定,是为了证成无为政治。这一提法是他对道家思想的深刻领悟,证明郭象对庄子哲学并未做出所谓的根本扭转。事实上,郭象对道家的无为观念做了历史上最为清楚的阐释。学界以崇有抑或崇无为标准,把儒道两家对立起来,并称郭象统一有无、会通儒道,未尝不是一种误解。

The ＂way ofAnren （ ‘安任＇ ）＂ advanced by Guo X/ang is an explicit negation of autocratic monarchy, and its aim is to justify non - coercive politics which is in accordance with the de of things. This notion is Guo Xiang＇ s deep insight into Tao- ism. It tells us that he has not made a so - called radical reversion to Taoism. Actually, his interpretation of non - coercive action is the most distinct in history. The universal practice of counterposing Confucianism and Taoism by the criterion of advocating you or wu and asserting that Guo Xiang has interg^ated you and wu is misleading.
