本文旨在探討袁保新先生對《老子》哲學的「道體」圖像，援引西方哲學中的「存有／應然」之原理以進行分判之方法的適切性與有效性。首先，以唐君毅、徐復觀、陳鼓應、楊儒賓等四位當代詮釋者為主軸，探究在中國哲學系統中，我們究竟如何看待《老子》哲學中的「道體」；其次，則進入文獻中，以章句意義之確認，來呼應當代學者們的詮釋系統，及其理論內涵，以證成《老子》哲學中，「道體」的客觀性、實有性、和宇宙論之特徵，應是較為中堅之解釋；最後，則以袁保新先生所架構出來的六項詮釋學要點為核心，集中探究袁先生所傳達的詮釋模組之內涵及其《老子》詮釋的對應性。

The purpose of this essay wants to discuss that Yuan Bao-Hsin(袁保新) approach’s appropriateness and effectivenesswhich is used to judge Dao image of Lao Tzu, and the approach he used is principle of seinprinzip/sollensprinzip in western philosophy. At first, I put Tang Jyun-Yi(唐君毅)、Syu Fu-Guan(徐復觀)、Chen Gu-Ying(陳鼓 應)、Yang Ru-bin(楊儒賓), four contemporary hermeneutist, into important roles, and explore how we see Dao of the “Lao Tzu” in the system of Chinese philosophy. Second, in the literature review, it replies contemporary scholars’ hermeneutic system and the meaning of their theory by confirming the meaning of chapters and sentences in order to prove the feature of Dao’s objectivity, being-form, and cosmology in Lao Tzu. This should be more effective explanation. In the end, I use six hermeneutics points, which is framed by Yuan Bao-Hsin, to be the core. At the same time, I explore the corresponding relationship which is between the meaning of interpretation-mode, and Lao Tzu’s interpretation is conveyed by Yuan Bao-Hsin.
