博士 === 中國文化大學 === 哲學系 === 101 === The main text of my book consists of seven chapters.<Foreword>aims at clarifying the most important work for the serious chinese scholars in philosophy,is a comparative study between Eastern and Western philosophies.In <Introduction>,I try to explain the concept holy man’s of Lao Tzu’s “Nothingness” and “Beingness” but always be non-being and always be being,point at a kind of mood.Heidegger maintained :”Man can only do so if he is torn away from his everyday experience by a special emotion......this shows that man in his anxiety ,is confronted with nothing.” At firt,I characterize Tao for Lao Tzu signifies the power of producing things,can divide into “man’s existence”,“Tao of things”,“the dynamic of sky and earth”,“Tao of holy man”four aspects to discuss.Tao for Chung Tzu is just as air’s vaporize,and I especially discuss the relation of craft and Tao,and the relation of language and Tao.Both Lao Tzu and Chung Tzu are Taoist,but they strutuce the concept of Tao show the difference between their way.On the dynamic of Tao,Tao generating things,but things has a process of return to Tao.Chung Tzu didn’t like to show the structure of concept,rather came back to living experience,Showing Tao of flying in reality. Is Heidegger has some key term like Lao Tzu’s”pre-understanding”or Chung Tzu’s “the heart of prejudice”?Our understanding of Being always inauthentically harness in wrong direction, the thing encounterd by Dasein always show up as a “equipment”. Thing used by man,lost the original nature of itself,Heidegger modelled vessel as a ideal type, that says vacuity, the space of hollow, is the use of vessel. Nature also can view as dynamic of Tao, those man who have craft, use their strength to produce violent power, acting upon nature, and nature repond to him.
