"Contradiction"Between Tao and Name,and"Image"Speech:Discussion on the Ecological Concept in the Daoist Language Thought
Taoist thinkers hope to solve the serious social crisis at that time by returning to the pre-civilization era of mankind,which shows the criticism of name thinking and the reflection on the limitations of language expression in the philosophy of language,attempting to realize the true return of human beings to themselves by reconstructing the relationship between language and the real world."Tao cannot be expressed in words"is the starting point of Taoist language philosophy,and the Taoist thinkers represented by Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi believe that the expression of Tao and the true world cannot persist in the way of name.The real natural language should conform to the Tao character of natural inaction,and can achieve the purpose of the unity of Tao and speech,and the speech being able to reach things.In the Taoist theory,the main way of Taoism is to convey meanings with images,and"image"speech is the pivot that can solve the relationship between metaphysics and physics,between what can be said and what cannot be said,between Tao and things.As wordless existence,the image is the original presentation of the existence of things,and can convey a richer ecological meaning.The Daoist language thought contains rich ecological resources,which provide a theoretical support for the exploration of current ecological discourse.
