- Abstract
The epistemology of Laozi’s management philosophy transcends the dichotomy of qualitative and quantitative. It puts the management object out of the time coordinate set by man, and regards the subject and object of management as the natural thing of “Tao” and also makes the subject and object of management subject to the natural law. The epistemology of Laozi’s management philosophy has distinct naturalistic characteristics. The naturalistic characteristics of the epistemology of Laozi’s management philosophy, to a certain extent, make up for the deficiency of the empirical logic that attaches importance to linear causality. Its profound connotation provides new ideas for the reform and innovation of management theory.
