Quan niệm về vô vi của Lão Tử và Trang Tử

Tóm tắt

Referring to the Taoist concept of wu wei, people often have misconceptions that wu wei is doing nothing or living and acting passively. However, it is impossible for human beings to exist if they do nothing, so one should not understand wu wei in such a way. Additionally, when talking about wu wei, Lao Tzu also emphasizes “Do nothing and get everything undone”, so the main issue here is not doing, but rather the attitude of the person performing wu wei. There have been many research papers on wu wei and wu, so it is difficult to have something new in the following articles. To avoid duplication with other existing studies, this article will focus on comparing the concept of wu wei of two typical representatives of Taoism, Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu, and thereby making comparisons and general evaluations of the concept of “wu wei” between Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu.
