《淮南子》并非如冯友兰所言的“无中心思想”而落于洋洋洒洒,道即是其纲领,而且对道之性格作了深刻阐发。夫道者,无所不在,无形无象,而应变无穷,然其又是恒常实存。故凡万物之生息长养,与夫自然界之一切现象,殆无能自外于斯道者。因此要顺其自然,以合于道。 The “Huainanzi” is not as “a centerless idea” as Feng Youlan put it. The Tao is its program, and its character is profoundly elucidated. Wise men, omnipresent, invisible, and contingency, but it is the common reality. Therefore, all life and interest of all things grow up, with husband all the phenomena of nature, almost impossible to self-outsiders. So let it be, let it be in harmony.
