本文將嚴格依據《老子》文獻，分析老子學說中所展示之「人」之事實。本文首先將指出老子對生死問題之態度，並推論出其對人生仍建立正面之肯定。其次，本文將由「心」、「知」、「欲」等方向，分析老子所認定之人之事實。 另外，本文將討論老子學說是否為「反智論」、是否涉及類似儒家所謂之「人性」問題，以及其所指出之「人之事實」，是否為價值之根源等問題。

This paper focuses on the texts of Lao-zi, in which analysis of the reality of “man” was presented in his doctrine. We will first identify his attitude towards life and death, from which we conclude that remains positive about life. Secondly, we will analyze the reality of “man”, which Lao-zi assumed, in terms of “mind,” “intelligence,” and “will.” In addition, we will also discuss whether Lao-zi’s doctrine is a sort of “anti-intellectualism,” whether it is related to something similar to the Confucians’ idea of “human nature,” and whether the “reality of man” he pointed out is the source of values.
