Il existe un philosophe chinois, peu connu, nommé Laodzi, fondateur d’une doctrine religieuse (la première et la meilleure traduction de son livre «De la voie de la vertu» est une traduction française de Stanislas Julien) qui pose comme fondement de sa doctrine le tao, mot qui se traduit par raison, voie, vertu. Or le tao ne peut être atteint que par le non agir, selon la traduction de M. Julien. Tous les malheurs de l’humanité proviennent selon Laodzi non pas de ce que les hommes ont négligé de faire ce qui était nécessaire, mais de ce qu’ils font ce qui ne l’est pas; de sorte que si les hommes pratiquaient comme il le dit le non-agir, ils...
