摘要

本世紀初以來，中國大陸的老子研究經歷了分別以歷史考辨、哲學辨析和文化學闡釋為學術特徵的三個階段或高潮。第一次高潮是在二、三十年代，源於對先秦文獻中關於老子的記載有不同的理解，展開了圍繞老子其人其書的時代問題（春秋或戰國）的爭論；第二次高潮是在五、六十年代，由於對《老子》一書中「道」等主要範疇或命題的不同詮釋，對老子思想的哲學性質（唯物論或唯心論）進行了熱烈的討論。最近十幾年來，中國大陸的老子研究達到新的高潮，呈現新的特色：理論角度或觀念背景發生了變化，學術視野變得開闊，努力發掘老子思想的現代意義成為重要的學術目標。

This century has seen research on Lao-zi on Mainland China divided into three areas; historical research, philosophical research and cultural research. These three areas have proceeded through three phases or, it could be said, have reached three pinnacles.
The first phase was during the 1920's and 1930's, where different understandings of the literary records of Lao-zi during pre-Qin China were debated. This included discussions on Lao-zi the man and Lao-zi the book and their historical positioning. (That is whether they appeared during the Spring-Autumn Period or the War-ring States Period.) The second phase was during the 1950's and 1960's where debates on Laozi's concept of ”Dao” and other import- ant categories took place. Heated discussions were held as to whether Lao-zi's philosophy was primarily materialism or idealism.In the past ten years a new phase in the research on Lao-zi has taken place. Changes have taken place in understanding theoretical aspects and the background of certain Concepts in Lao-zi's philosophy. This in turn has scholars diligently searching for a meaning for Lao-zi's philosophy in the modern world.
