《鶡冠子》一書雖然見於《漢書•藝文志》的著錄,但是今本的《鶡冠子》,從唐代開始,即被認爲是僞書,一直沒有受到應有的重視,因而到底是否爲黃老之學的著作都成疑問。近年來,隨著黃老帛書的出土,大陸上學界對許多以前被懷疑爲僞書的先秦古籍,都作了重新的評價,在這情形下,有部分學者認爲:《鶡冠子》除了少部分羼入了先秦兵家思想的,確定爲僞以外,大部分篇章,仍應是先秦戰國時代具有黃老思想的著作。這樣的成果,對研究戰國時代的學術思想,特別是有關黃老之學的問題上,增加了不少的鼓舞。本文即從他們的研究成績上,試圖探討下列的問題:1.探討黃老之學在戰國時代的發展情況。2.探討《鶡冠子》一書的思想內容及其與黃老之學的關係。3.了解《鶡冠子)一書的哲學思想在哲學上的貢獻。4.研究《鶡冠子》一書的哲學思想對漢代政治上黃老之治的影響。經由上述的研究,主要是《鶡冠子》一書的思想內容有更堅實而深刻、也更爲貼合原義的了解,其次對影響戰國時代及兩漢深遠的黃老之學,將有更全面而深刻的認識。
The modern version of Ho-kuan-chi has been treated an a false book since the T'ang period although it is mentioned by Yi-wen-chi of Han-su.
