“性善论”的教育学意蕴——一种新哲学范式的解读

The Pedagogic Implication of "the Original Goodness of Human Nature"

区分认知理性与实践理性是解读儒家性善论教育思想基础的前提。"性善论"是一种实践理性哲学的概念,它具有十分重要的教育学意蕴,强调性善意味着人与物的区别,人的价值的凸显;强调性善即是对人的道德主体性的肯定;强调性善才可能确立"道之以德"的正确教育原则,才可能为道德教育定性。

The understanding of the Confucian educational theory that human nature is originally good is the prerequisite to differentiate cognition rationality from practice rationality. The theory that human nature is originally good is a practical conception of philosophy, which has very important pedagogic implication. The emphasis on man's goodness manifests the difference between human and animal and highlights man's worth. The affirmation of the theory is to confirm that man is the subject of ethics and only with the theory can a correct educational theory of ethics be established, so as to conclude the nature of moral education.
