Taoism has generally been discriminated by intellectuals and considered to be the root of many negative factors in Chinese society in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, especially during the New Culture Movement(around the time of the May 4 th movement in 1919). This discrimination encompasses both the conservation of the traditional scholarofficials’ conception and the launch of the Chinese Renaissance by the intellectuals of the New Culture. However, there is now a trend toward Taoism being the seed of native science in China since the 1930 s. This trend has started to destigmatize Taoism. In fact, the image of Taoism, either negative or positive, is shaped by science. The case study presented here helps us to better understand the religious views in the ideology of modern China and remind us that the image of Taoism from the perspective of science history is not its true color. What is more, two levels of "science view" have been formed in modern China: at the level of ideological structure, the traditional principle of "craft at climax can be closer to the Tao" and at the level of concrete connotation, the real meaning of either Tao or craft has undergone a rudimental change.

丝绸之路上回鹘人的中华文化观

大量考古材料显示,回鹘人西迁后,除了继续信仰摩尼教外,从公元10世纪开始,深受吐鲁番本土汉人儒释道文化的影响,积极且广泛研习中华文化,同时也受美索不达米亚东方教会影响传播基督教文化。文章从回鹘人的“儒释道耶”信仰四个方面梳理分析了丝绸之路上的回鹘文化特点及其与中华文化的密切关系,回鹘文化体现了浓厚的中华情结。可以尝试用“东融西鉴”来概括回鹘文化,即向东融会贯通,向西交流互鉴,由此促成回鹘文化的中华文化属性和标识。

论所谓“朱子道”之说

潘平格曾有所谓“朱子道”之说,并以此对朱子的理路进行批评。潘平格此说是否合理、有据,要从朱子本人如何看待道家谈起。从朱子文本来看,他确实对道家研究颇多,通过朱子对老子其人、《老子》文本和义理的研究,可以看出朱子最终仍然将儒道两家对立了起来。在道家谱系及义理流变的研究方面,朱子细致地梳理了老子、杨朱、列子与庄子四者之间的思想脉络与思想异同。此外,朱子还研究了道家与道教、儒家和佛教的关系,最终肯定了孔孟之道内圣外王的境界。事实上,朱子对道家与道教所做的研究属于“致知”,其目的仍在于“克己”和“敬”,即“拒盗”和“守门户”。因此,朱子虽然主张“不以人废言”,但终究认为道家“门户”错了。总之,潘平格所谓“朱子道”不合理,也无据。

何其芳的“出世”与“入世”——兼谈新文学作家“儒道合一”的文化人格

列子对道家思想承启作用的贡献探析

列子是人类文明轴心时代中原核心区诞生的重要思想家,是道家学派从老子到庄子延伸时期的重要人物。列子承继了老子的道论思想。他沿用老子“谷神”“玄牝”等概念,生动地解析了“道”生天地万物的机理。列子下启庄子,为庄子提供了发扬光大道家思想的标尺、富有启发的思想素材、理论创造灵感以及寓言这种表达思想的艺术形式。列子思想的特色可以简要概括为以下三个方面:一是达观且具有人间烟火气的人生观;二是具有现实价值的技艺崇拜思想;三是具有值得重新估量的重要文化地位。列子“郑之圃泽多贤,东里多才”的箴言,足以与湖湘文化中“惟楚有才,于斯为盛”相媲美。列子愚公移山的寓言也被中国共产党第七次全国代表大会闭幕词所引用,是革命精神的重要资源,也是中原学人在新时代增强文化自信、为创造培育中华民族现代文明作出新的贡献的精神动力。
