人文教育的心灵之维——现代性境遇中对人文教育的一次申辩

On Dimension of Human Soul in Humanity Education :An Apology of Humanity Education in Context of Modernity

人的心灵之维是人文教育可能性与必要性的根源。在现代性境遇中人文教育边缘化必然导致受教育者德性缺失、心灵枯竭,从而丧失反思自我、达致美好生活的能力。随着现代性的深入,心灵逐步被自然科学化与物质化,最终致使教育只能培养"无灵魂的专家"和"无心的享乐人"。因此,在现代性背景下对人文教育进行申辩是一项紧迫而又冒险的事业。

The possibility and necessity of human education lies in the human soul. In the context of modernity, that humanity education is the expelled results in these unavoidable dangers which make students lack virtues and with hollow souls, and finally lost the capacity of reflecting themselves and having a flourished life. With the development of Modernity, the way to understand human soul becomes totally scientifical and physical, which causes that the products of education are only no soul experts, no heart entertainers or fun-lovers. Therefore, it's an urgent and risk task to apology for humanity education under the context of Modernity.
