LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.道家學派產生於中國歷史上的春秋戰國時期，他的代表著作主要包括《老子》、《莊子》、《列子》等。道家豐富的生命倫理學思想主要包括崇尚自然的生命觀、保身盡年的生命價值觀、少私寡欲和崇尚無為的養生觀、尊道積德和崇尚自由的道德觀，以及提倡天人合一的生態觀。在現代社會發展過程中，道家生命倫理學思想對尊重人性、堅持生命至上，維護人的發展；對人類社會整體的健康和諧發展；對適度消費、保持資源有序利用和推動社會可持續發展；對維護人類社會協調發展；對人類修德養生以及對現代生態觀和環境保護都有著重要的借鑒價值。通過對道家生命倫理思想的研究，我們可以看到東方哲學智慧的閃光點，歷史證明東方哲學思想有著和西方一樣光彩奪目的歷史，在現代社會發展過程中，我們面臨著許多新問題，而西方工具主義對此則顯得力不從心，因此借鑒東方智慧，發掘東方先哲思想則顯得尤為重要，歷史的現實已經證明東方智慧，尤其是中國古代哲學，所具有的思想智慧有更為重要的現實意義和參考價值。Daoism was one of the major philosophical traditions of ancient China, based on the teachings of Laozi and Zhuangzi. This essay focuses on the Daoist view of human life and its relation to the environment, and argues that the ethical dimension of Daoism is still relevant to life today. Given the many ecological and bioethical crises we are now confronting, it is important that we re-evaluate Daoism, especially its view on the unity between humans and nature.This essay deals with human health in terms of physical health, mental health and environmental health. These aspects correspond to the three dimensions of the Daoist concept of “harmony”: harmony with oneself, harmony with other people, and harmony with the environment. Uncovering the traditional roots of Daoism will help us to reconstruct a moral philosophy that values life, especially in a world that has become dominated by capitalism and consumerism.DOWNLOAD HISTORY | This article has been downloaded 15276 times in Digital Commons before migrating into this platform.

Conflicts are unavoidable in human life. Thus, for human beings, the attitude of forgiveness is of importance to be well-embedded and sustainably constructed. Resting upon the aforesaid premises, the present study conducted a library research to reveal how forgiveness is viewed from the perspectives of positive psychology and Islam. 102 scientific works reviewed, 58 works were finally selected to be scrutinized in depth. This study revealed that the discourses in the field of positive psychology imply that forgiveness attitude is of importance to be embedded in human beings and continuously constructed by virtue of its positive natural impacts on mental health, good relationships, physical health, and positive well-being. Furthermore, as informed by Islamic teachings, the attitude of forgiveness is also suggested to be well and continuously embedded. As the best Islamic role model for the end-time people, the Prophet Muhammad PBUH already exemplified that humans are indeed to always be forgiving and even to pray for others for the sake of good things that Allah SWT will bestow to. It is worth noting that both positive psychology and Islam encourage humans to be forgiving individuals.

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.莊子的生命自由觀是一種用自由來定義生命的哲學觀念，其核心內容是追求無待的絕對自由觀，以“吾喪我”來消解人的主體意識、“齊萬物”的平等精神，以及同生死的觀念。無待的自由是指一種絕對的、不依賴於外在條件的自由，它體現為無己、無功和無名。“無待”的主旨就是超越主觀和客觀的對立，超越有限的自我，達到無限而自由的自我。“喪我”便是摒棄偏執的我、固執的我。這個偏執的“我”是封閉的我，是假我；喪失了“我”的“吾”才是開放的我，才是拋棄了偏執的本真之我。莊子的“吾喪我”乃是一種消解主體意識的方式，超越了西方主體哲學的主觀和客觀的二元對立模式。“齊物論”闡發的是平等思想，它包括三個方面：即物物平等、人人平等、人與萬物平等。莊子認為人的生死是自然世界中的一個普通事件，人的身體乃是由外在物質世界元素（氣）假借而成，只是暫時的湊集，終究是要滅亡的。這些哲學觀念對中國生命倫理學的建構具有重要的意義，主要表現在：消解人的主體性和自主性，以區別於西方生命倫理學尊重自主性原則；物物平等、人人平等以及人與萬物平等的思想對生命倫理學提出了更高的要求；以貴生、養生的方法來善待生命，反對對生命的強干涉主義。Freedom is a key concept in the philosophy of Zhuangzi. This kind of freedom requires a deconstruction of the “subject…predicate” logic and an attitude that views all things equally. The ethical views of Zhuangzi focus on the notion of “losing oneself” or “forgetting oneself”, the purpose of which is to subvert the position between subject and object and to see things as they are. Unlike the Western idea of individual autonomy, Zhuangzi’s concept of freedom is based on the interconnectedness between individuals. This essay contends that the Daoist position on the meaning of human life and freedom can serve as a source of inspiration when we consider the many bioethical issues we face today—including the issue of life and death—and how to interpret those issues within the Chinese context.DOWNLOAD HISTORY | This article has been downloaded 4268 times in Digital Commons before migrating into this platform.

The effect of yoga on human health has long term interest. In this regard, we view the effect on physical health, not only mental, in terms of the sensory input. This paper attempts to present a position on whether yoga affects human health status and limits an increase in lifestyle diseases. In this work, we collect data and use inductive reasoning methods with the aim of generalizing conclusions. Our findings indicate the effect of yoga, not only on mental health, but also in terms of physical health, in particular in reducing obesity. It is concluded that to find a completely healthy person is rare, but with various relaxation techniques of yoga, one can eliminate a variety of ailments and benefit overall in health.

This study examined the association between emotional intelligence (EI), anxiety, depression, and mental, social, and physical health in university students. The sample was made up of 184 university students (38 men and 146 women). EI was evaluated by the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (Salovey, Mayer, Goldman, Turvey, & Palfai, 1995), which evaluates the three dimensions (Attention, Clarity, and Mood Repair). Anxiety was evaluated with the Trait Anxiety Questionnaire (Spielberger, Gorsuch, Lushene, Vagg, & Jacobs, 1983) and depression with the Beck Depression Inventory (Beck, Rush, Shaw, & Emery, 1979). Mental, social, and physical health were evaluated with the SF-12 Health Survey (Ware, Kosinski, & Keller, 1996). Results showed that high Emotional Attention was positively and significantly related to high anxiety, depression, and to low levels of Role Emotional, Social Functioning, and Mental Health. However, high levels of emotional Clarity and Mood Repair were related to low levels of anxiety and depression, high Role Physical, Social Functioning, Mental Health, Vitality, and General Health. This study confirmed the predictive value of Attention, Clarity and Mood Repair regarding the levels of anxiety, depression, and areas related to mental, social, and physical health in university students.
