道家形上探求的基本向度与理论衍化

道论是道家形上探求的核心内容。道家的形上探求,经历了先秦的老学和庄学、秦汉的黄老道家以及魏晋玄学等阶段,呈现出理论衍化的特征。道家形上探求的基本向度由“本根”与“境界”构成,其理论的衍化表现为对本根之道作为宇宙生化之源与存在之本双重意义的展开,以及本根论向境界论的转化。“道天地人一体”的整全宇宙观念和“以人合道”的实践品格对道家的形上探索具有决定作用。

Taoist Transcendental Inquiry: Its Fundamental Dimensions and Theoretical Derivations

The theory of Tao is central to Taoist transcendental inquiry, which shows its theoretical derivations from Laozi and Zhuangzi of the pre-Qin era, Taoist theorists of the Qin and Han Dynasties and from the metaphysics of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, with "Bengen" and "Jingjie" as its fundamental dimensions. The theory of Tao develops through the postulation of " Bengen" as the source and the foundation of the Universe and the transformation from the " theory of Bengen" to the " theory of Jingjie" . The idea of the integration of the Universe and the practical character of cultivation play a decisive role in Taoist transcendental inquiry.
