庄周的突围——价值重估与意义重构

The Philosophical Breakthrough Made by Zhuang Zhou with the Value Revaluation and Meaning Reconstruction

在礼崩乐坏的战国时代,原有的价值秩序面临崩溃,而新的秩序尚未形成。在这种不确定性中,如何重建人的价值感和意义感,让人们避免滑入虚无主义的深渊,成为庄子迫切需要解决的问题。在庄子看来,当人与社会处于紧张的关系时,首先要安顿好自己的“身”。安身于世而不沉沦其中,以避免利益和纷争对自己的损害。在这个基础上,不断消解自己的“成心”,使内心处于无所待的状态,通过虚纳万物来保存人的自然真性。在这个过程中,自我反思是促进心灵升华的主要力量,旨在达到与天地同游、和万物我同一的境界。作为一种艺术化的审美设计,庄子的哲学思想对当代社会的价值重构具有重要启示意义。

In the Warring States Period,the original value order broke down,but the new order had not formed.In such uncertainty,how to rebuild people’s sense of value and meaning,how to avoid people slipping into the abyss of nihilism,has become an urgent problem to be solved by Zhuangzi.In Zhuangzi’s opinion,when people are in a tense relationship with society,the first thing they should do is to settle down their“body”.Make peace with the world and not sink into it,in order to avoid interests and disputes to their own damage.On this basis,people continue to dissolve their“prejudice”,makes their heart in a state of no need.Preserve the natural truth of man by absorbing everything.In this process,self-reflection is the main force to promote the further sublimation of the soul,aiming to be able to travel with the universe,and to be one with all things As an artistic aesthetic design,Zhuangzi’s philosophy is of great significance to the value reconstruction of contemporary society.
