Full text linkThis thesis represents a first attempt to analyze Lao Tzu's main method of resolving the social and political problems in Ch'un Ch'iu and Warring States Periods.

Therefore, Lao Tzu's ideas about peace and his methods of solving the problems of the Warring States period are significant and from the main focus of the thesis

“Resorting to Huang Lao” and “Non-Being” ── Comparative Study of Han Fei and Wang Bi's Interpretation of Lao Tzu's philosophy
No full text韓非是戰國時代韓國的庶公子，王弼是漢末三國時代魏國的豪門之後，相隔六百多年，而都留下了對《老子》哲學的詮釋之作。韓非有《解老》、《喻老》，王弼有《老子注》，又各自在詮釋中改造了老子的哲學建立了自己的思想體系。韓非成為先秦法家的集大成者，而王弼則成為魏晉玄學的奠基者。同樣是詮釋《老子》，但韓非用的方法是「參驗」，王弼則是「得意忘言」;韓非的「道」是「與夫天地剖判也具生」，王弼的「道」是「先天地生」;韓非是主張「以法為本」，王弼則是「以無為本」;韓非主張「無為而無不為」，王弼主張「無為而為之」。所以韓非的哲學思想建立了秦漢以後的專制帝國，王弼的哲學思想則引進了隋唐佛學。Han Fei is a descendent of former aristocracy who livedduring
the Warring States Period, while Wang Bi livedduring the Late Han.
Although separated by six hundredyears, they have both left us with
annotations dealingwith the philosophy of Lao Tzu. Han Fei
wrote"Interpretation of Lao Tzu" and "Expounding Lao
TzuMetaphorically," while Wang Bi is known for "Annotating onLao
Tzu." In their annotations of Lao Tsu's texts theysuggested new
interpretations and systems of thought. HanFei became leading
legalist of Xian Qin period, and WangBi laid the foundation of
metaphysics school of Wei & JinDynasty. Lao Tzu was interpreted
differently by Han Feiand Wang Bi. Han relied on method of
"comparing and examining," while Wang emphasized
"comprehending and let aside words." Han's argument is "in the
Beginning there was Universe" and then "Tao". On the other hand,
Wang held that Tao comes "before the Beginning of the Universe."
Han maintains that law is essential while for Wang the essentialthe
Universe." Han maintains that law is essential while for Wang the
essential is Wu (Non being).Han believed that "inactivity activated
all deeds", while Wang countered by asserting "inactivity is
activation".Thus, Han's philosophy helped establish autocratic
empires since the Qin and Han dynasties. Wang's interpretation of
Lao Tzu helped introduce the Buddhist philosophy during the Sui
and Tang dynasties
