摘　　要：道家思想可以定义为经过尼采所说的“伟大的不信任”之火洗礼的浪漫个体主义。对于谦恭而合群的儒家思想，它是自然而必要的抗衡。无论发生何事，道家信徒的第一个反应就是“批判”，他在这个过分人性化的世界里看到了太多的愚昧和恶趣。批判的冲动也许是道家最根本的特性。然而，如果只是批判世界，那他只算半个道家。一个成熟的道家会从批判人性开始，以彻底批判自我为终结。Taoism may be defined therefore as romantic individualism, baptized in the fire of what Nietzsche calls ＂the grand distrust＂. It is the natural and necessary counterpart to the complacent2 gregariousness of Confucianism. Come what may, the first prompting of a Taoist is to ＂debunk3＂, so much folly4 and bad taste does he see in this all-too-human world. The urge to debunk is probably the most basic of Taoist traits. Yet, to debunk just the world would make but half a Taoist. A full-grown Taoist will start with a debunking of humanity itself and end with a thorough debunking of himself.
