《老子》中“有”、“无”的地位是否平等

《老子》中“有生于无”的命题,郭店竹简本作“天下万物生于有,生于无”,部分学者据此认为,老子只有有无平等的观念而不主张无先于有。对老子思想的整体把握,以及从哲学史研究的意义和价值角度来论证,无先于有的观念并不能轻易地从老子那里剔除。“无”与“道”在形上层面同一,因而较“有”优先,有无的对等关系只在形下的经验世界才能成立。

On the Status of Being and Nought in Lao Zi

The proposition of ＂ Being comes from Nought＂ in Lao Zi has another edition in Guodian bamboo that all things in the world are born in ＂ Being＂ and ＂Nought＂. Some scholars thus believe that there isnt a concept of ＂ Being comes from Nought＂ but the equality advoeation between ＂ Being＂ and ＂ Nought＂ in Lao Zi. In this paper, through the overall grasp of Lao Zi as well as from the meaning and value point of view on the study of philosophical histo~, I will argue that the concept of ＂ Nought is prior to Being＂ can not be easily removed from Lao Zi,＂ ＂ Nought＂ and ＂ Tao＂ are on the same level from the metaphysical point of view, so ＂ Nought is prior to Being＂, the reciprocal equal relationship between ＂Being＂ and ＂Nought＂ can only exists in the physical world.
