王安石对老子哲学的继承和发展

北宋著名哲学家王安石在建立自己哲学体系的过程中 ,对老子哲学多有吸收和借鉴 ,同时也有创新和发展。首先 ,在天道观上 ,王安石继承了老子天道自然无为的思想 ,并把老子道生万物的宇宙生成论思维模式发展成为宇宙本体论的思维模式 ;其次 ,在天人关系问题上 ,王安石一方面继承了老子主张人应效法天道的自然无为的思想 ,但同时也对老子人道无为的观点进行了分析和批判 ;再次 ,在辨证思维领域 ,王安石继承了老子天道运行不已的观念 ,形成了“天道尚变”的进步历史观 ;同时 ,王安石用“耦”、“对”概念来概括事物的对立统一关系 ,进一步深化和丰富了对矛盾规律的认识。

Wang An-shi's Inheritance and Development of Laozi's Philosophy

The North Song philosopher Wang An-shi both inherited and developed Loazi's philosophy in establishing his own philosophical system. He carried on Lao'sidea of non-action, and developed this genesis into an ontology. In dealing with human relations, Wang An-shi advocated Lao's idea of following the law of the heaven while animadverting on his suggestion of in-action. In dialectic thinking,Wang An-shi inherited Lao's idea of a moving world to form his own progressive historical idea of a changing world. Besides, Wang An-shi used "Ou" and "Dui" to generalize the relationship of the unity of opposites among things, which further advances our understanding of the law of opposites.
