『老子』 대립구조의 유형과 함의 분석

Abstract

In this study, we have examined the types and implications of the 『LAOZI』 opposition structure. The opposition structure can be divided into four types. The first is a positive equal opposition structure of ‘A-B’ type. The meaning types and units of the two opposing pairs are the same. Second, there is a positive analogous opposition structure of ‘A-b’ type. The semantic type and unit are not the same, and the opposite result, method (b), etc. for a single opposite (A), are mainly shown. Third is the negative equal opposition structure of ‘A-不A’. It is composed of affirmative and irregular forms for one opposition. Finally, it is a negative analogous opposition structure of ‘A-不a’ type. The implications of the opposition structure can be seen from three points of view. First, it is a viewpoint of the value difference of the two opposites. This implies the implication of the ‘去彼取此’ and ‘本末’. Next, it is a viewpoint of the value equal, which conveys four messages. The Meaningless for the relative distinction between the two opposites, the recognition of this natural value, complementarity, and dialectical motility. Finally, it shows the perception and results that are contradictory to the present. It also shows the contradictory perceptions and results of the ‘道’`s attributes or the ‘道者’`s acts and may also represent contradictory results, methods, and attributes of the present behavior or event.
