《庄子》的道思及其诗意表达——通《庄子》玄奥之门

《庄子》的道思,乃是以“道通为一”的动态整体观为主线。这种道思是理性的概念思维之外的另一思路,即悟性的、诗意的“象思维”思路。这种思路所使用的表达语言也不同于概念思维思路使用的语言,而是诗意隐喻的语言。必须暂时悬置概念思维而借助悟性的“象思维”进入这种语境,才能真正把握《庄子》的道思。庄子正是以道思揭示出人性“欲壑难填”的弱点,而对人类自身异化作出深刻批判。庄子同时还揭示出人具有对于克服异化追求理想自由的善根,从而为人类摆脱精神危机点亮一盏明灯。

The thinking of Tao and poetic expression in Chuang-Tzu——A key to the understanding of Chuang-Tzu

The thinking of Tao in Chuang-Tzu focuses on the idea of dynamic holism which centers on the idea of “oneness threaded by Tao.” Representing a way of thinking other than rational conceptualization, the thinking of Tao is savvy and poetic. The expressing language in for thinking is different from the language used in conceptualization and it is poetic and metaphorical. In order to begin the thinking of Tao we must suspend conceptualization. It is by way of the thinking of Tao that Chuang-tzu reveals the weakness of human nature of “boundless avarice” and makes a profound criticism on the alienation of man. At the same time Chuang-Tzu discloses that man has a radical goodwill of pursuing freedom in thinking and thus lighting a candle for man to get out of spiritual crises.
