就其理论意义而言，《管子》四篇的德性理论首先缓解了形上学立场与经验常识之间的对峙状态，也就是说合乎“道”的生活应该直面生理需求和情感体验所带来的挑战。其次，将认知能力确定为“心”所固有的功能、依据“静因之道”论证理智德性是为了表明，人能够以主体性的地位参与、主宰天地万物的演化进程。此外，“静因之道”关注“因”的主张，不仅可以推论出人有能力掌握“道”和天地万物的本性，而且也将日常语言与言说“道”的方式演变为融贯性的话语体系。

In terms of its theoretical significance, Four Chapters of Guanzi's virtue theory relieved the tension between metaphysics position and common sense, which means living consistent with Dao, should face challenges from physiological needs and emotional experience.

Furthermore, Four Chapters of Guanzi paid more attention to Yin, because it not only contributed to understanding Dao and the mature of universe, but also integrated ordinary language and discourse about Dao as a whole.
