1. Logical Errors 傳統的邏輯錯誤

魏晉玄學「貴無論」注釋道德經的權威王弼 (公元226-249年),把「有無相生」的邏輯弄亂了,他認為「有」是根據「無」而產生的,因此主張萬物「以無為本」及「有生於無」。這成為傳統道家的主流,。這種論述在魏晉時期已經有人反對了,但是這種錯誤至今一直被保護著。

歷代的「經典」(Classic) 解釋都同時保持「有無相生」和「有生於無」矛盾,而使「道德經」失去一致的邏輯,成為各自解讀。這是歷史的錯誤。「貴無論」扭曲了老子的邏輯結構,使「無、有」的關係混亂不清。所以,我們必需脫離中國「經典」的論述,恢復老子的邏輯。

The Pro-Wu group in Wei-Jin metaphysics 魏晉玄學, Wang-Bi (226-249 AD), distorted the logic of “Co-arising of Yu and Wu” 「有無相生」, by introducing the errors in assuming “Wu as Tao” 以無為道 and “Yu is born in Wu” 有生於無. These mistakes have become the mainstream of Traditional Taoism. Such assumptions had been opposed at that time, but is protected till this day.

The “classic” interpretations maintains at the same time the contradiction of “Co-arising oy Wu and Yu” and “Yu is born in Wu”, and cause the Tao Te Ching to lose a consistent logic, allowing arbitrary interpretations. This is a mistake in history. The Pro-Wu group distorted the logical structure of Laozi, making the relation between “Wu and Yu” obscure. We have to avoid Chinese “classic” interpretations and restore the logic of Laozi.
