作为中国古代辩证法大师的老子 ,以其“无为”思想而著称于世。然而 ,有些人将其“无为”思想简单地理解为无所作为、消极等待。这种观点不仅不符合老子思想的本意 ,而且在现实中也危害甚重。本文联系老子的“自然”法则 ,对其“无为”思想进行了比较详细的考察。老子的“无为”思想 ,是在其“道法自然”思想的基础上衍生出来的。它通过顺从民心、量力而行、积少成多、少私寡欲等一系列观点 ,给“无为”限定了条件。其实 ,老子所言“无为”并非无所作为 ,而是在遵循“自然”法则条件下的“有为”。只有这样 ,才能最终达到“无不为”的目的。其中尽管带有某些消极成分 ,但是它所包含的唯物主义和辩证法因素至今仍然闪烁着灿烂的光辉 As a great master of dialectics in ancient China, Lao Tzu is famous for his “Inaction” thought. However, some people simply interpret their “inaction” as doing nothing and wait negatively. This view not only does not accord with the original intention of Lao Tze’s thought, but also in reality is very harmful. This article connects Lao Tzu with the “natural” law and conducts a more detailed examination of his “Inaction” thought. Lao Tzu’s “Inaction” idea is derived from his “Taoist and natural” thought. Through a series of views of obedience to the people, acting according to one ’s abilities, adding up to a small amount, being less selfish and wanting less, it limited the conditions for “inaction. In fact, what Lao Zi said of ”inaction“ is not nothing, but ”promising“ under the ”natural“ law. Only in this way can we finally achieve the goal of ”all being". Despite some negative elements, the materialist and dialectical elements it contains still shine brightly
