从事道家哲学的讲学活动已超过廿五年了,我要说,这些年来,道家哲学在我的哲学构成中起了相当大的作用。起先我接受牟宗三先生的“儒家是主流,……道家是由这本根的骨干而引发出的旁枝”~①,现在我则主张“儒道同源而互补”~②。一方面,我在中国哲学史的理解、在理论的系统建构上都与牟先生不同。另方面,涉及到道家的哲学运用也与牟先生有了不同。这些不同不只是枝节上的,而有着根本的差异。但我还是要说,正因为牟先生所给的哲学资粮,才让我有了这样的一层发展。 It has been more than 25 years since I started teaching lectures on Taoism, and I would like to say that Taoism has played a significant role in my philosophical composition over the years. At first, I accepted Mr. Mou Zongsan’s “Confucianism is the mainstream.......... Taoism is the backbone of this root which leads to the side branches.” Now I advocate “Confucianism and Taoism with each other.” . On the one hand, my understanding of the history of Chinese philosophy is different from that of Mou in the systematic construction of theory. On the other hand, the philosophy involved in Taoism also differs from that of Mou. These differences are not just branches, but fundamental differences. However, I still want to say that it is precisely because of the philosophical resources provided by Mr. Mou that I have had such a layer of development.
