Dialectics and Interpretation of"Learning"and"Taoism"in Laozi
Seeking learning and seeking Tao are a pair of important concepts in Laozi.Seeking learning refers to learning empirical knowledge,including knowledge about human beings,things and events,while seeking Tao emphasizes the comprehension and optimism of the Tao.But in fact,seeking learning and seeking Tao are in unity of opposites.They have both contradictory and consistent aspects.That is,they are consistent at the level of"doing",but different at the level of"learning"and"Tao".Specifically,the two have similarities and differences in content and purpose,but are completely different in methodology.
