《莊子》「兩行」的思維模式及倫理意涵

The Form of Thought and Ethical Implications of “Liang Xing” in the Zhuangzi

「兩行」之說出自〈齊物論〉「狙公賦芧」寓言，雖然在《莊子》中「兩行」僅出現一次，但是卻足以展現《莊子》的核心思想。本文認為，將「兩行」理解為衝突或對立雙方的並行不悖並不全然符合〈齊物論〉意旨，因此，本文將對「兩行」的相關解釋作出檢討，並說明應當如何理解「兩行」的意義。本文同時將指出，「兩行」含蘊了數個重要的倫理意涵，並對之進行討論。

The concept of “Liang Xing”（兩行）only appeared in the chapter “Discussion on Making All Things Equal”（齊物論）in the Zhuangzi. Although “Liang Xing”（兩行） appeared only once in the whole text, it discussed important and central philosophical meanings of the Zhuangzi. In this paper, I point out that if we just regard “Liang Xing” （兩行）as a parallel proceeding of both sides which conflict with each other, we may misunderstand the meaning of “Liang Xing”（兩行）. In this paper, I first critically examine several explanations of “Liang Xing”（兩行）and point out shortcomings in previous discussions on the meaning of “Liang Xing”（兩行）. Then I show how to comprehend the meaning of “Liang Xing” （兩行） and on appropriate ways to reflect on the meaning of the text. After this, I finally discuss the ethical implications of “Liang Xing”（兩行）.
