摘要：“没理想”论争是坪内逍遥与森鸥外围绕理念与写实的关系展开的论战，是日本近代文坛首次大规模文学理论论争。这场论战表面上呈现为英国经验论与德国观念论的对峙，实则蕴含着东方思想的深刻影响。本文通过对逍遥“没理想”概念的语义辨析及其与老庄哲学的比较研究，揭示出其写实主义主张背后的道家思想底色。

Title: The ‘No Ideal’ Debate and Its Philosophical Connection to Lao-Zhuang thought
Abstract: The "No-Ideal Debate" was a polemic between Tsubouchi Shōyō and Mori Ōgai concerning the relationship between ideal and realism, and it constitutes the first large-scale literary-theoretical controversy in modern Japanese literary history. While the debate appears on the surface as a confrontation between British empiricism and German idealism, it in fact embodies a profound influence of Eastern thought.Through a semantic analysis of Shōyō’s concept of "no ideal" and a comparative study with Lao-Zhuang philosophy, this paper reveals the Daoist intellectual underpinnings of his realist position.
