规训的教育与人的自由

Preaching Education and Human Freedom

教育的本意应是培养人的自由心智,提升人的内在德性,而学校则是实现这一目的的重要场域。但是现在的学校越来越成为一个规训的场所,教育则沦落成一个代替强势进行规训的工具。这种异化现象已使得教育在偏离自己方向的道路上越走越远。教育成为一种“制器”的工具而不再是一种“育人”的活动,这必然导致教育的工业化生产和人的尊严与自由的丧失。

The original aim of education is to cultivate mans free thinking ability, and to advance his inner morality. The school is an important spot in realizing this aim. However, schools nowadays have become more and more a preaching spot, with education debased into a tool of preaching by the powerful. This dissimilative phenomenon has diverged from the proper route of education farther and farther away. As a result, education has become a mechanism in 'object making' instead of an activity in 'cultivating man.' This will inevitably lead to industrialized production, and the loss of mans dignity and freedom.
