本文從形上學、道德哲學和人生哲學此三個角度，探討老子的「道」之與其「聖人政治」的內在關聯性。其要點則包括：(一)、擁有超在性、內存性和謙沖性的「道」，自是人世間一切人為(典章)制度依循的準據；(二)、凡是能遵道而行道，貴德而行德的有道之人，當是一位有大德之容和行止的聖人；(三)、一國的主其事者，若能依道行事，又使自己常德不離，這自是國祚之福、全民之福。又一種能臻及大和暨大順的聖人政治之理想，無非是老子的人生哲學的崇高目標。 盱衡當今的世代，老子的聖人政治觀雖然顯得太過烏托邦，又不切實際；但是筆者寧願認定：它確可作為主政者於其行事之際，或號令天下之時一種反思自我的重要素材。

　　　　　This article proceeds from the angles of metaphysics, moral philosophy and a philosophy of life in investigating the concept of Dao in the Lao Zi and its connection with the theory of sage-government. (a) Dao as a transcendent and immanent existence can be said to be the basic source of human institutions. (b) A person who invariably obeys the Dao (natural laws) behaves as a moral man. That person then possesses the ideal character and can be considered a sage. (c) The ideal of a political “sage-government” could be considered the highest achievement for a philosophy of life in the Lao Zi. Though this ideal might be considered a form of utopianism, it can serve as an important reflective starting point for leaders in our time.
