先秦“道家”思想研究: 从郭店到稷下 = A study of Pre-Qin "Daoist" thoughts: From Guodian to Jixia

Abstract

This thesis hopes to place two recently excavated "Daoist" texts,commonly known as the Guodian Lao Zi and Tai Yi Sheng Shui, in the perspective of the birth and evolution of philosophical Daoism. By comparing them with the works of the Jixia Academy (374-221BC), namely the selected works in Huang Di Si Jing and Guan Zi, the author hopes to track the evolution of philosophical Daoism from the time of the Guodian texts to that of the Jixia writings. This research includes an analysis on the nature of thoughts as reflected by the two Guodian "Daoist" texts and an attempt to show how these new archaeological findings in the southwestern part of the Chu region relates with the "Daoist" thoughts of Jixia in the area of Qi in Eastern China.
