On the Development of Formalism in Early Taoism—Analyzing the Flux of Ideas from the Inner Reasoning and the Outer Situation

早期道家形上学肇始于老子，经由庄子、黄老学派以及魏晋玄学家的发展而于本体论、宇宙发生论以及境界形上学方面得以全面延伸。本文将从内在理路与外缘情境视角相结合的分析方法，考察该理论是如何以思想者为媒介、历史环境变化为缘起助力，使得内部生命潜能与纹理获充分之实现与展开，从而获得对该思想史发展过程的清晰而全面的认识，并以此感受中国文化源远流长的独特传统。Early Taoist metaphysics began with Laozi, and through the development of Zhuangzi, the Huanglao School, and the metaphysicians of the Wei and Jin dynasties, it has been comprehensively extended in terms of ontology, cosmogenesis, and the metaphysics of the realm. In this paper, we will analyze the theory from a combination of internal reasoning and external contextual perspective, examining how the thinker as the medium and the changes in the historical environment as the originating force has enabled the full realization and unfolding of the internal life potential and texture, so as to gain a clear and comprehensive understanding of the development of the history of this thought, and to feel the unique tradition of Chinese culture that has a long history.
