论道家的安身立命之道

On the Taoist Way to Settle down and Get on with One’s Pursuit

时代的急剧变迁,使得安身立命成为现代人亟需思考的问题。道家以真朴论人性启示人们保持身心的平和,以慈俭谦让和道家式责任感实现人与社会的和谐,以“自然的人化”与“人的自然化”促进人与自然的交融,以内在价值为基础,拓展出生命的主观价值和外在价值,是“道法自然”原则在人生中的体现。道家安身立命之道力图达到天地境界,着力保持内外平衡,紧密结合健康养生实践,与儒家之立足道德境界、提供动力支持和结合修身实践的安身立命思想正好形成配合和互补。道家安身立命思想中所蕴含的有关人性、主体性、秩序性和本根性的观点,对于现代人解决安身立命困境具有独到的启示意义,是不可忽略的重要文化资源。

It is the fundamental problem for one to settle down and get on with one’s pursuit,especially in the rapid changed modern society.Taoist enlighten people to keep peace of body and mind with true and simple humanity,promote harmony between human and society with love,frugalness,self-effacing and Taoist responsibility,blend the human and the nature with“the humanization of nature“and“the naturalization of human”,extend the subjective value and external value of life on the intrinsic value.All of these are based on the principle of Tao.Taoism strives to achieve the realm of heaven and earth,to maintain the balance between internal and external,and fully implements health and health maintenance.Taoist way to settle down and get on with one’s pursuit is in coordination and complementary with Confucianism,which strives to achieve the realm of morality,provide power support,and implement to self-cultivation.The views of humanity,subjectivity,order and origin contained in these thoughts have unique enlightenment significance for modern people,thus have important cultural resources value that cannot be ignored.
