【摘要】：庄子是中国历史上最早认识到自由的价值,并且系统地表达了对自由的追求的思想家。从"万物等齐"的平等观念出发,庄子把自由理解为以"无待"为条件的免于约束的绝对自由。庄子的自由观充分体现了其在政治上的无政府思想倾向。当西方自由主义思想家的理论被译介到晚清中国的时候,庄子的自由观是中国近代思想家理解和接受西方自由理念的重要连接点;但由于庄子自由观与西方自由主义有着明显不同的价值取向,其对人类群体生活的悲观估价以及消极的人生态度,不仅无法与西方自由主义实现理论的融通,而且阻碍了近代中国人对自由的恰当理解。
[Abstract]:Zhuangzi was the first thinker who realized the value of freedom and expressed his pursuit of freedom. Based on the equality of all things, Zhuangzi regards freedom as the absolute freedom free from restraint. Zhuangzi's concept of freedom fully reflects his anarchy in politics. When the theories of western liberalism thinkers were translated to China in the late Qing Dynasty, Zhuangzi's concept of freedom was an important connection point for modern Chinese thinkers to understand and accept the western liberal ideas. However, Zhuangzi's concept of freedom is obviously different from western liberalism in value orientation, so his pessimistic evaluation of human group life and his negative attitude towards life are not only unable to integrate with western liberalism's theory of realization. It also hinders the proper understanding of freedom in modern Chinese.
