章節(jié)摘錄
3 Laozi was first introduced into Europe possibly as early as the 15th century and has been one of the most translated philosophical works of ancient China. Many of Laozis enlightening views are based on his philosophy of naturalness and non-action. Naturalness and Non-action. 4 "Naturalness" is an important concept of Laozis philosophy. It refers to a natural state of being, an attitude of following the way of nature. Laozi emphasized that everything in the world has its own way of being and development: birds fly in the sky, fish swim in the water, clouds float in the sky, flowers bloom and flowers fall. All these phenomena occur independently and naturally without following any human will, and humans should not try to change anything natural. Laozi admonished (告誡) people to give up on any desire to control the world. Following the way of nature is the way to resolving conflicts between humans and the world. 5 "Non-action" is another important concept of Laozis philosophy. It is the guarantee of"naturalness". Laozi said, "(Dao or the Way) acts through non-action," by which he didnot mean that one should do nothing and passively wait for something to be achieved.Neither did he deny human creativity. What he meant is that human enterprises shouldbe built on the basis of naturalness, not on any attempts to interrupt the rhythm of nature.Human creativity should be in compliance with (依從) the ways of nature.Laozi said, "Great ingenuity (足智多謀) appears to be stupidity." This is the essence of"naturalness" and "non-action". "Great ingenuity" refers to the highest level of ingenuity,arising so naturally that it does not resemble ingenuity at all. Ingenuity can be achievedthrough human effort, but "great ingenuity" is superior to ordinary ingenuity. To Laozi,resorting to deceit (期騙) is true futility (無益的事) and would accomplish just the oppositeresult. Those who intend to play tricks are not genuine and therefore are not natural. Deceitis detrimental to naturalness and to the harmony of life.
