老子与荀子天道观的异同

The Similarities and Differences of Lao Tzu and Xun Tzu 's View of Natural Law

老子的天道思想,是中国谈论"形上天"的始祖。荀子对"天"的观点,主要体现在《天论》之中。透过对老子、荀子天道观的比较,它们的共同之处在于:一、皆认为"天"是一个理序、规律性的"形上天",没有意愿性。二、"天"都能够产生万物,而且皆不干涉万物的生长。相异之处在于:一、老子的"天"还包含了"人格天"("意志天")的成份,所以实际上是有两个层面,与荀子不同。二、老子认为人要遵循上天自然的法则,而荀子则提出"人为"的重要性,明白指出"天人之分",要制天和知天,善加利用,符合现代科学的观念。

Lao Tzu＇s heavenly thought is the ancestor of China talking about ＂Metaphysica＂ . Xan Tzu＇s view of ＂heaven＂ is mainly embodied in Tian Lun. Through the comparison of Lao Tzu and Xun Tzu＇s view of heaven, their commonality lies in： one is that ＂heaven＂ is an orderly and regular ＂shaped god＂ and has no intention. Second, ＂heaven＂ are able to produce all things, and all do not interfere with the growth of all things. The difference is that： First, Lao Tzu＇s ＂heaven＂ also contains the ＂personality heaven＂ （ ＂will heaven＂ ） of the composition, so there are actually two levels, and Xun Tzu different. Second, I think people want to follow the laws of God＇s natural, and Xun Tzu is ＂man-made＂ importance, clearly pointed out that ＂Heaven and Man＂ , to system days and know heaven, good use, in line with the concept of modern science.
