《老子》重要争议性字词考辨(一)

Textual Research and Discrimination of Important Controversial Words in Laozi(Ⅰ)

古今的《老子》诠释似乎陷入到了一人一义、十人十义的"诠释学的无政府主义"窘境。但通过对地上地下几个重要版本的对勘,可获取更为可信的文本,从而为校准或深入理解老子思想奠定坚实的基础。此处择取可能引起思想歧变或错舛的争议性字词进行考辨,以确定"恒道""以观其所曒""浴神""天地而弗能久""抟气致柔""玄监(鉴)"等文本,并消除相关的一些误读。

It seems that the interpretation of Laozi throughout history has stepped into a dilemma of “hermeneutic anarchy”.However,by literal emendation of the important handed-down and unearthed versions,more credible texts conld be attained,laid a solid foundation for calibration or in-depth understanding of Laozi’s philosophy.Here we select some important controversial words which may bring about deviation of thoughts or mistakes for prudent textual research and discrimination,so as to fix the relevant texts and eliminate some related misinterpretations.
