基于《道德经》哲学思想的新生态故事研究

A Study of New Ecological Stories Based on the Philosophy of Tao Te Ching

《道德经》是中国最伟大的哲学名著之一,对传统哲学、政治、宗教等产生了深刻影响,引起国内外学者广泛研究。从生态概念隐喻、生态故事和框架理论视角出发,采用隐喻分析方法对《道德经》进行生态分析,研究发现了DAO IS MOTHER等生态概念隐喻,揭示了道生万物的宇宙本体论,万物平等的生态认识论,处弱不争、知足知止的生态实践论,探索了关于发展、消费、人与自然关系的新生态故事。同时推断出LESS IS MORE,SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL等与生态概念隐喻一致的新价值观。

Tao Te Ching,one of the greatest philosophical masterpieces in China,has exerted a profound influence on traditional philosophy,science,politics and religion,and has been widely studied by domestic and foreign scholars.Starting from the theory of the Ecological Conceptual Metaphor,the Ecological Story and the Frame Theory,this paper adopts metaphor analysis to make an ecological analysis of the discourse of Tao Te Ching.The study finds that conceptual metaphors such as DAO IS MOTHER,NATURE IS A WEB,DE IS WATER(BABY,A VALLEY),reveal the cosmic ontology of DAO's production of all things,the ecological epistemology of equality of all things,the ecological practice theory of the power of the weak and the perpetual feast of a contended mind.It explores the new ecological stories concerning development,consumption,and the relations between human and nature.It also finds the values,such as LESS IS MORE,SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL,are coherent with the new stories and the ecological conceptual metaphor.This study not only broadens the perspective of investigating Tao Te Ching,proposes the value and realization of a conceptual metaphor,but also is of great value to enhance ecological awareness,to publicize harmonious ecological speech acts,and to help human beings live in harmony with natural objects.
