明道务治:《淮南子·要略》“论道”逻辑及其黄老经世精神

Governance on Tao:The Logic of the Exposition on Tao in Huainanzi And its Huang-Lao Nature——Centered on Yaolue

《淮南子》“论道”具有缜密谨严的理论逻辑,这突出体现在作为全书序言的《要略》之中。无论是“论道”的宗旨与原则、方式与思维,还是“论道”的特点与取向、价值与意义,《要略》均有深刻具体的理论体现。在此系统化“论道”的基础上,《淮南子》适应西汉大一统政治的发展需求,进一步会通、熔铸与整合先秦老、庄、黄(老)道家三学,深刻阐发自身“明道务治”的黄老经世思想。对《淮南子》“论道”逻辑及黄老旨趣的充分体现,使《要略》成为以淮南王刘安为领袖的汉代“淮南学派”在学术、政治上的思想纲领,也让其有力彰显出《淮南子》全书鲜明的道家理论特质及人文精神。

“Discussion on Taoism”in Huainanzi has rigorous theoretical logic,which is prominently reflected in the Preface of the book,Yaolue that explicates its purpose and principles,mode and thinking,as well as the characteristics and orientation,value and significance.On the basis of this systematized Tao concept,Huainanzi meets the demand of developing unified politics in the Western Han dynasty.It deepens and integrates the three schools of Pre-Qin,Lao,Zhuang and Huang Taoism,and profoundly expounds its Huang-Lao thought in Dao-governance.The reflection of the logic in Yaolue and Huang-Lao nature in Huainanzi makes it the academic and political ideological guideline of the Huainan school in the Han dynasty led by Liu An,king of Huainan.It also shows distinctive characteristics of Taoist theory and humanistic spirit.
