论《老子》“道”与“一”的关系

“道”是老子书中的核心观念,但《老子》既论“道”,也论“一”,两者关系微妙难解。通过分析,笔者认为,《老子》一书经历两阶段的发展,早先依循古老精气论的路线,以“一”为最高根源,然后才走出具有自己特质的路,以“道”为首出者。

Relationship between Dao and Yi in Laozi

Dao is the key concept in the book Laozi. But the book discusses both Dao and Yi, making the relationship between them too complex to understand. Through analysis, the author believes that the book Laozi is developed in the two stages: the first one is based on the old theory of spirit, Yi considered as the highest root. In the second stage, its own special characteristics are revealed, Dao considered as the first concept.
