《老子》“为学”与“为道”思想研究

Research on the Thought of “Learning” and “Tao” in Laozi

摘要: 《老子》第四十八章提出“为学日益，为道日损”的命题，揭示了知识积累与道体领悟之间的辩证关系，本文首先通过梳理“为学”和“为道”在《老子》各版本的演变发展，阐明两者各自的内涵；其次，进一步揭示出“为学”是“为道”之基础，“为道”则是“为学”之终极目的的辩证关系；最后，论述了“观”“明”“涤除玄览”是“为学”与“为道”的功夫实现路径，从而揭示“为学”与“为道”思想在《老子》中的地位以及蕴含的哲学意涵。

Abstract: Chapter 48 of Laozi puts forward the proposition of “learning for the day, for the day”, which reveals the dialectical relationship between knowledge accumulation and the understanding of Tao. This paper firstly expounds the evolution and development of “learning for the day” and “Tao for the day” in each version of Laozi to clarify their respective connotations. Secondly, it further reveals that “to learn” is the foundation of “to Tao”, and “to Tao” is the dialectical relationship of the ultimate goal of “to learn”. Finally, it discusses that “view”, “light” and “clear away the metaphysical view” are the kung fu realization paths of “learning” and “Tao”, thus revealing the position of “learning” and “Tao” thought in Laozi and the philosophical implication.
