由《太玄》到《抱朴子内篇》的“玄”之进路

“Xuan”: From “Tai Xuan” to “Bao Pu Zi Nei Pian”

“玄”作为独立的哲学概念,最早成型于扬雄《太玄》。在《太玄》中“玄”作为一个隐蔽的线索,串联天地间具体的万事万物,同时万物藉由“玄”作为途径向人展示自身。《抱朴子内篇》继承发展了“玄”的概念,认为“玄”即是“人道”,并将天地万物统合于人道之中,建立了以“玄”为本的哲学体系。由《太玄》而至《抱朴子内篇》,“玄”完成了由天至人的落实,真正实现了从“无”到“有”的理论根源转变。

As an independent philosophical concept, “Xuan” was first formed in Yangxiong’s “Tai Xuan”. In “Tai Xuan”, “Xuan” serves as a hidden clue, connecting the specific things between heaven and earth, and at the same time, all things are by “Xuan” as a way to show themselves to people. “Bao Pu Zi Nei Pian” inherited and developed the concept of “Xuan”, believing that “Xuan” is “humanity”, and integrated all the things in heaven and earth into humanity, and established a philosophical system based on “Xuan”. From “Tai Xuan” to “Bao Pu Zi Nei”, “Xuan” has completed the implementation from heaven to man, and truly realized the theoretical root change from “nothing” to “have”.
