摘　　要：在中国,"道"被理解为自然的方式,即当自然系统不受外力干扰时所展现的运行方式。但"文明"是否也能立足于道?道是否能够昭示文明的演化之路呢?是否会有一种文明能在其基本的设计和程序原则方面有意识地遵循道,从而使其成为一种生态敏感的、可持续的文明?我将在本文中论证,作为当代设计理论的"仿生"理念能够成为推动21世纪道家思想发展的重要工具。道家思想,特别是"无为"的理念为阐释仿生理念提供了强大的哲学背景,注入了深刻的哲学底蕴,同时也使得道家思想能够在当下关于可持续和生态文明的主要原则的论争中发挥核心的作用。同时,全球性环境危机引发的仿生设计潮流也为道家的思想者们提供了一种范式转换的新背景,使他们有机会在重审道家传统的基础上,更加积极地、深入地将道家思想融入到当代的发展中。In China, Dao is understood as the Way of nature, the way that natural systems unfold when left to their own devices. But can civilization also rest on Dao？ Can Dao inform and shape the unfolding of civilization？ And will a civilization that consciously follows Dao in its basic design and procedural prineiples be an ecologically sensitive and sustainable one？ In this paper I argue that biomimicry, as a eontemporary theory of design, can serve as a vehicle for Daoism in the twenty-first century： Daoism, in particular the Laoist notion of wu wei, offers a powerful philosophical lens for interpreting biomimicry. Such a Laoist reading, which adds much needed philosophical depth to the notion of biomimicry, affords Daoism a central role in current debates about sustainability and the outlines of a sustainable civilization. At the same time, the global state of environmental crisis that has elicited biomimicry as a design response provides a paradigm-shifting new context in which Daoists can in turn interrogate their tradition, thereby deepening and enhancing its relevance for the present era.
