摘要

本文以為，在亞洲諸哲學思想中，菲律賓哲學有其一定的地位，尤其與中國哲學有諸多相似之處。本文的第一部分，舉列菲律賓人以Katatagang-Loob(堅強的精神/柔韌的態度)面對當代種種艱難挑戰的經驗，並依此對柔韌處世之道作中、菲兩國跨文化的哲學分析。由此衍伸，本文並陳敘形塑菲律賓人柔韌處世之道背後的動力，與其社會文化、宗教信仰和後殖民現象息息相關。本文的第二部分，比較道家思想與Katatagang-Loob，相似之處所在多有。透過豐富的跨文化觀點，得窺人類柔韌處世經驗背後的智慧與哲學。

The paper argues that Filipino philosophy has its place among other Asian philosophies particularly in consideration of its similarities with aspects of Chinese philosophy. Focusing on a cross-cultural philosophical analysis of resiliency, the first part of the paper outlines the Filipino experience of katatagang-loob (emotional strength/resiliency) within the context of the challenges apparent in contemporary times. In this connection, the paper also describes the dynamics that may have possibly shaped resiliency among Filipinos as a social-cultural, religious, and postcolonial phenomenon. The second part focuses on a comparison between aspects of Taoism and katatagang-loob. Similarities can be drawn from both providing an enriching cross-cultural standpoint with which to understand the necessitated wisdom and philosophy behind the experience of human resiliency.
