老子的道德哲学及其当代价值

Laozi’s Moral Philosophy and Its Contemporary Value

摘要: 老子的道德哲学与传统道德哲学存在着差异，“自然”思想在老子的道德哲学思想中占据了重要地位，而且老子的“自然”内涵丰富，其道法自然、自然无为的思想对国家治理和个人修为都产生了深远影响。老子的“自然”一词并不是我们现在所理解的大自然这么简单，由于“自然”一词内涵丰富，因此要想理解老子的哲学思想需要先对“自然”进行把握。“自然”一词在《道德经》中出现了五次，它的每一次出现都有不同的含义与主体。老子的“自然”思想是其道德哲学中的重要思想，对现代国家的治理和人们之间的相处起指导作用。

Abstract: There are differences between Laozi’s moral philosophy and traditional moral philosophy. The thought of “nature” occupies an important position in Laozi’s moral philosophy, and Laozi’s “nature” is rich in connotation. His thought of learning from nature and doing nothing by nature has a profound impact on national governance and personal cultivation. Laozi’s word “nature” is not as simple as the nature we understand now. Because the word “nature” has rich connotations, it is necessary to grasp “nature” first in order to understand Laozi’s philosophical thought. The word “nature” appears five times in Tao Te Ching, and each occurrence has different meanings and subjects. Laozi’s “nature” thought is an important thought in his moral philosophy, which plays a guiding role in the governance of modern countries and the relationship between people.
