论国人的基本精神动源

（河北大学 哲学系，河北 保定 071002）

摘 要：就基本精神来看，儒家以“人生”为视角，主张正视世俗世界，强调主体的责任担当，表现为“刚健”；道家以“场域”为视角，主张面对自然世界，反对人为的“勉强”，表现为“任运”；佛家以“人死”为视角，主张面对“彼岸世界”，反对“执著”世俗世界，表现为“出世”。因此，儒、道、佛对于人生具有不同的意义：儒家主张“拿得起”；道家主张“想得开”；佛家主张“放得下”。在此意义下，儒家精神可比之为“粮食”，道家精神可比之为“空气”，佛家精神可比之为“药”。不过，三家均不能单独解决人生所有问题，而须互相协作，共同为国人提供基本的精神动源。

Abstract: Basically speaking, based on the perspective of "life", Confucian claims to face up to the secular world, emphasizes the responsibility bearing, shows "vigorous"; based on the perspective of "field", Taoism claims to face up to the natural world, opposes man-made “doing with difficulty”, shows "as luck"; based on the perspective of "death", Buddhism claims to face up to the "the other world", opposes "persisting" the secular world, shows "above worldly consideration". Therefore, they have different meanings for life: Confucian advocates "affordable"; Taoism advocates "get over it"; Buddhism advocates "put it down". In this case, Confucian spirit is like "food", Taoist spirit like "air", and Buddhist spirit like "medicine". However, anyone of them cannot solve all the problems of life, and must be work together to provide the basic spiritual powers for Chinese people.

Key words: Confucianism; Taoism; Buddhism; Chinese people; Spiritual Powers
