道德教育之“落在实处”的后果及其检测

Review on the Consequences of Descending Moral Education

失范道德教育是悬空的道德教育。道德教育的现代转型就是要落在实处,其现实举措为:从高到低、从内在到外在、从目的到手段、从自我到常人等。它简单、实用、现实和人性化,体现现代道德教育之要求。但这是一种"硬着陆"式的道德教育的落在实处、使道德教育弱于道德和教育。事实上,这种转型助长了现代道德教育的危机,其自身比现代道德教育危机本身更加危机。道德教育要进行现代转型,落在实处,就应当实行一种"软着陆"。何以为之?尽管一种假设的理论检测要求在现代道德教育思考时问责另一种可能、避免非此即彼、整全不同的生活世界,但其仍然是一个有待思索的现实的理论和实践问题。

The old moral education has noting to do with humans＇ practical life. The modern transformation of moral education has descended from a higher to a lower place, from internality to externality. It should be regarded as means rather than purpose, emphasized to common people rather than to the virtuous. Such moral education is simple, practical and human, as it meets the needs of modern moral education; however, it is forced education and will weaken the power of moral education. As a matter of fact, such transformation reveals the crisis in moral education. The question that how moral education takes its transformation is still in inquiry as we could not run to an extreme for another completely new education.
