Taoist Theory of Fate
LUO An-xian(School of Philosophy,Renmin University of China,Beijing 100872)
Taoists maintain a negative and helpless attitude toward man's fate.They believe that the spiritual quietness,cleanness and freedom can be secured only by maintaining such attitudes toward everything.Taoists place the spiritual quietness,cleanness and freedom on the first priority over everything.The spiritual quietness and freedom is the ideal life for Taoists and the foundation and starting point for the Taoist theory of fate.If we do not connect the Taoist theory of fate with its theory of mind and nature,we will not be able to discriminate the theory of fate of Confucianism from that of Taoism,and we cannot understand the real implications of the Taoist theory of fate.
