老庄哲学中的科学思想

The Scientific Views in Philosophy of Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi

老庄哲学把对自然现象、人类生存状况及生产经验的观察、研究,作为切入点,建立起了道家的自然观,展示了老庄在自然科学方面最初的理论自觉。老庄坚持"道"生万物说、道为宇宙万物的本体的理论;庄子提出了生物起源、循环演变的猜想、万物一体的生态论;老庄尤其确认了人的自然本质及在自然界中的位置,并由此衍生出了老庄的养生论,所有这些都显示了老庄哲学独有的理论品质以及它在理论上的前瞻性、现代性。

Based on close observations of natural phenomena and human beings status and production experiences,Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi formed their views of nature and showed their initial theoratical awareness of natural science. Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi insisted that all creatures be generated by the order of nature and proposed their own cosmism,cyclic transformism and ecology. All their works displayed their unique understanding of nature and theoratical traits,which to some extent are prefigurative and modern.
