庄子的仁义思想探析

Chuang-tzu's Thought of Benevolence and Righteousness

儒道两家是中国文化的核心,儒家要在仁义,而在《庄子》对仁义的论述中,却表现出很复杂的态度,一方面肯定仁义的价值,一方面又对仁义进行多方面的批评。这个矛盾需要一种更高层次的仁义来化解。而这种真正的仁义,需要以道德作为本体展现出来。而个人修养的目的,就是使自己保有这种无为的道德。

Confucianism and Taoism are the core of Chinese culture. The core of Confucianism is kindheartedness and justice while Chuang-tzu showed a very complex attitude towards benevolence and righteousness. On the one hand,it affirms the value of benevolence and righteousness, and on the other hand, it makes many criticisms on benevolence and righteousness. This contradiction needs a higher level of benevolence and justice to resolve. And this kind of true benevolence needs to be represented by Tao as noumenon. And the purpose of personal accomplishment is to keep this kind of Tao with doing nothing.
