竹简《文子》天道论初探

＂天道＂是中国思想史上的重要概念。在竹简《文子》中,天道不仅是对于世界万物起源的认识,也是对社会发展规律性的认识,它具有自然和社会双重属性。竹简《文子》的天道论继承了老子＂道生于有＂的思想,但否认＂有生于无＂,＂有＂是其终极。人的行为必须遵循天道。竹简《文子》中对于＂天道＂自然属性和社会属性的阐释,也为后世很多思想家所继承。

The Law of Nature in Bamboo-Slip Wen Zi

The law of nature is an important concept in the history of Chinese ideologies.In bamboo-slip Wen Zi,the law of nature is considered as an approach to understanding not only the origin of everything on earth,but also the law of social development.Therefore it has both natural and social attributes.The law of nature in bamboo-slip Wen Zi inherited the idea of "law is implied in everything" from Lao Zi,but disagreed on his ideas of "being comes from nothing" and "everything is in its final form".The book also tells us that human behaviors should be guided by the law of nature.It is because of its profound understanding of the law of nature that Wen Zi is so widely inherited by later ideologists.
