⋘老子⋙文本中的身體觀

The Bodily Perspective of Lao Tzu

〈《老子》文本中的身體觀〉旨在澄清隱含在《老子》文本中的身體觀點，從而得以自身體的角度對《老子》一書的內涵進行闡發。文章依序就知覺、身體與世界等範疇進行探索，發現在知覺範疇中，《老子》指出「五色令人目盲」的知覺缺失，從而提出了不以耳目感官為主的「以此」之知；在身體範疇中，則據「以此」之知為基礎進一步完成了無知無欲無為無名的「無身」圖式；在世界範疇中，則藉著「無身」的感知而成就了一個「惚兮恍兮」、「窈兮冥兮」、「周行而不殆」、「獨立而不改」的道行世界。而「道亙無名」，「道法自然」，此一道行世界乃為自然與名，於是周人在現實世界中承天命而建立之文德退位，禮樂名位崩解，「五色精心」說亦徹底破產。故而以「無身」之身為主，輔以「以此」之知與道行之世，《老子》文本中所隱含的獨特身體觀得到澄清，其知覺、心理、行為、道德與社會種種內涵與身體的關聯也獲致說明。

The main purpose of 〈The Bodily Perspective of 《Lao Tzu》〉 is in interpreting 《Lao Tzu》 from the point of view of body. The concept of the body concerns with perception, behavior and world, so, we will discuss all of them. First, 《Lao Tzu》said ”the five colors will blind our eyes”, so we should know ”here”, not ”there”. Since to know ”here” need not the experiences of ”there”, so there will be no knowledge, no desire, no name and no thought. Thus, the intention of our bodies was disappeared. A body of ”Bodiless” became the ideal body of 《Lao Tzu》 and the world became the Way of ”here”. A world of the Way of ”here” is a world of nature and it was contradict to the world of ceremony, which was build by Chou dynasty. Then we found the practical meaning of 《Lao Tzu》 from the point of view of body.
