哲学问题的审美解答——论庄子把握哲学问题的特殊方式

庄子思想涉及许多普遍永恒的哲学问题,但它却是以一种审美的方式来解决这些问题的.物我两忘、超越主客体的观照视角,非功利、非实用的价值取向,游玩、游戏的趣味和态度,都体现出庄子以审美的方式来化解哲学难题的特殊方式.庄子学说最终要引导人们进入"至美至乐"的境界,这使得其哲学具有不同于以追求真理为目标的西方哲学和以追求善为目标的儒家哲学的特点.

Aesthetic Solution to Philosophic Problems:Zhuang Zi's Special Way in Dealing with Philosophic Problems

Many universal and fundamental philosophic problems have been involved in Zhuang Zi's work. However, he adopted an aesthetic attitude and method to deal with and resolve those profound philosophic problems. This feature is manifested in his aesthetic observation without paying attention to either subject or object, an orientation to aesthetic value that is without utilitarian and pragmatic goals, and in his aesthetic interest in "wandering" or "playing". Zhuang Zi's goal of entering a realm of "ultimate beauty and ultimate pleasure" makes his philosophy different from western philosophy, which takes truth as its ultimate goal and from the Confucian philosophy, which takes moral virtue as its ultimate goal.
