道家与道教的区别

Difference of Taoist school and Taoism

道家与道教既有联系,又有区别。道家是一个哲学流派,而道教是一个宗教流派;二者之间的理论旨趣区别很大。但道家理论又为道教所利用,成为道教的理论基础。人们经常忽视道家哲学与道教理论的区别,夸大二者的联系;或者把这两个概念混合使用。这都是错误的理论判断,应该予以纠正。

Taoist school and Taoism is related and distinguished between each other. Taoist school is a philosophical school, while Taoism is a religious sect. There are clear theoretical differences between them. But the theory of Taoist school is used as theoretical bases by Taoism. The differences between Taoist school and Taoism are often ignored and their relationship is overstated, or sometimes the two concepts are confused, which are all mistaken and must be corrected.
