美学精神——破解德育难题的一种诉求

Aesthetic Spirit:Key to the Solution of the Difficulties in Moral Education

美学精神是一种游戏精神,是一种超越精神。审美的游戏性可以淡化和消解实用功利的态度,促进个体获得完整而和谐的发展;超越精神既可以使人超然于日常生活的琐碎之上,又可以使人重返现实世界,以更高的美学视野来塑造现实世界,提升个体乃至全人类的生存品质。因此,美学精神及其指导下的美育对于解决德育面临的德育理论与德育效果之间的失衡、日常生活的功利性与道德的利他性之间的对立等德育难题无疑会发挥重要的作用.

Aesthetic spirit is one of both game and transcendence. The game attribute of aesthetic spirit may lessen or dispel the practical attitude, leading to the individual＇s perfect and harmonious development, while the spirit of tran- scendence helps people to transcend themselves from the trivialness without leaving the veal world, shaping the real world with higher aesthetic vision, thus improving the living quality of human being. Therefore aesthetic spirit and ed- ucation guided by it play an important role in resolving difficulties in moral education, such as the imbalance between theories and effects in moral education, contradiction between being utilitarian and altruistic in daily life.
