道家伦理的精神哲学意义

道家从文明的开端就参与了中国民族的伦理世界与道德世界的建构,是中国道德哲学体系与中国伦理精神最重要的原色之一。道家伦理具有重要的精神哲学意义。道家为中国伦理提供本体论基础,弥补了儒家道德哲学体系中本体缺失的不足;道家的隐世避世为入世的伦理提供了一个退出机制,使富有弹性的安身立命基地的建构成为可能;道家在儒家的人伦原理之外提供了一套扬弃人生和人伦矛盾的人生智慧。但是,由于其理论体系中不可克服的内在矛盾和人格构造中难以弥合的内在分裂,道家伦理在中国伦理精神的体系中终不能成为主流和正宗。

Psychophilosophical Significance of Taoist Ethics

Since the beginning of civilization,Taoism has taken part in the building of Chinese ethical and moral world so it is the original part of Chinese moral philosophy and ethical spirit.Taoist ethics has important psychophilosophical significance.Taoism provides ontological foundation for Chinese ethics and therefore,makes up for the lack of noumenon in Confucian moral philosophy;Taoist seclusiveness provides a withdrawal mechanism for the ethics of entering the world so that it is possible to build a flexible base for living;Taoism provides a series of life wisdom to sublimate life and ethical conflicts besides Confucian ethics.However,due to the unconquered inner conflicts in the theory and character split difficult to make up,Taoist ethics can not be the mainstream of Chinese ethical spirit.
