摘要
传统的关于《老子》"道可道,非常道"的解读,似有偏误。以汉字学入手而详加推究,可知老子之"道"主要意有三重:人类足迹能够到达的地方;人类思想能够到达的地方;人类思想与实践均能到达的地方。"道可道,非常道"应释为:道,可以言说明白的,便不是一般的道。"不是一般的道",即:既有具体时空范围、环境条件,又有一定主客对象的"道"。"道"之可以言说明白,既源于事物的存在、运动、发展、变化之有规律可循,也源于主体的天资、学识与求知欲望。"道"之所谓"不可言说者"实指暂时没有认知,或没有深入认知,或难能或不能得出统一认知之"道"而已,而非真不可言说。
There is a mistake in traditional explanation of Lao-tzu＇s saying the tao that can be expressed in words is not the true tao. Taken the science of Chinese character as a point of departure, Tao here refers to three meanings： the place where human footprint can reach; the place where human mind can reach; and the place where both human thought and practice can reach. The Tao in Lac^tzu could then be illustrated in this way： Tao that can be expressed in words is not the common Tao; in fact, it is concerned with specific time, environment, and certain subjective and objective phenomena. Tao is able to be understood because the law for things＇ existence, movement, development, and change can be followed; but this also relies on subjects＇ talent, knowledge, and desire for knowledge. Tao therefore is not able to be understood because one lacks the wisdom or intelligence; or one has the difficulty in obtaining the wisdom or unified recognition. Tao is hence not beyond expression.
