Zhuang-zi Individual Life Ethics Thought

The Spring and Autumn Period Warring States time, the feudal lord chaos caused by war successive years, the ritual collapses is wild with joy, the gentleman person rises, hundred school of thought contends, thought theory having achieved great achievements. The life in Warring States intermediate stage's Zhuang-zi, the critique has absorbed the same time thinker's thought that particularly has inherited father's core thought that and develops it the innovation, becomes one of Taoism thought important origins, simultaneously has also had the profound influence to our Chinese nation's cultural thought. Now we occupy on the wave which the time transforms, reconsiders the Zhuang-zi thought that must carry on the socialist construction to us to have a benefit. The current numerous scholar mostly is from angles and so on philosophy, esthetics and literature conducts the research to Zhuang-zi's thought that conducts the research from ethics angle to discuss and the article purely are few. Was quite in the past long times, the people always suppressed benevolence this phenomenon which based on Taoism the exhausted Confucianists and Mohists, the attack Confucianists and Mohists publicized, but obtained the Zhuang-zi negative ethics morals, in was essentially one kind of non-moral principle or the morals nihilism conclusion. The author believed that this viewpoint is worth discussing very much. The Confucianists and Mohists morals have only represented the Confucianist and the Mohist school to ethics morals understanding and the explanation, Zhuang-zi attack the Confucianists and Mohists morals not to mean that Zhuang-zi denies moral the existence and the function, but through critique Confucianists and Mohists morals' disease, false, better explained oneself construct ethics morals system's rationality, superiority.In ethics thought that Zhuang-zi has not asked for ethics question from the social overall aspect, i.e., the Zhuang-zi ethics thought's subject is not the social morals standard, but is the individual existence question, is from the individual life existence angle, stands in the human individual standpoint, by"said that"for its ontology's cornerstone and the instruction, has discussed in individual survival ethics question. Zhuang-zi presents by his unique spoken language for us the individual life existence ideal boundary, the inactivity, not treats, the ramble in the world; Described"does not have oneself to the human","the Daoist immortal idle work","the sage nameless"the ideal personality. Zhuang-zi further analyzed the individual life not to be able to achieve the ideal boundary, not to be able to have ideal personality all sorts of difficult positions, referred to the birth with died, when and the life, the common custom morals fetter is the biggest barrier which the individual life do not ramble tours. Facing layer on layer the difficult position, Zhuang-zi has not moved toward the pessimism and misanthropy the outlook on life, but proposed, in"said"under the instruction, the uneven life and death, the uneven right and wrong, through the heart room, sit in meditation and become unaware of this world, see and so on alone individual training, resolves these contradictions, goes out the survival difficult position, achieves the ideal boundary, obtains the ideal personality.Any great thought is the time product, it would to surmount the same time the theory, has foresightedness, simultaneously inevitably must get this time the brand mark, could not get rid of the time limitation. The Zhuang-zi individual life ethics thought certainly is also so. The Zhuang-zi individual life ethics thought most major characteristic is"said"the ontology introduces in the middle of ethics thought that enabled ethics thought to have the philosophy foundation, this regarding discussed ethics morals question speaking of ethics morals question pre-Qin ethics thought purely, without doubt had the foundation significance, has enriched our country tradition ethics thought. Zhuang-zi stands in the living individual life standpoint, has criticized Confucianists and Mohists morals false, has criticized the ruling class affectedly virtuous act. This at that time without doubt has the groundbreaking angle of view. He not only saw person's sociality, but also saw person's individual, has highlighted the individual life survival and the free right; In his eye's person already has the physiological drive, also has the energetic demand, and has highlighted person's energetic demand. But, the Zhuang-zi individual life thought and so on many factor's influences is had the time its own limitation. Zhuang-zi criticizes the material development excessively to person's dissimilation, emphasizes the spirit"the ramble", but neglects the material to the spiritual foundation function, easy reverse idealism. His ideal personality therefore had the gods and ghosts, makes the common people to be unattainable, easy to cause the common people trend to ask the immortal road to the god. The Zhuang-zi individual life ethics thought carries on the socialist modernization to us, the construction harmonious society has certainly certainly profits from the significance, mainly manifests in person own harmony, the person and society's harmony and the person and the natural harmony three aspects.
