教育:社会转型与文化想象

Education:Social Transformation and Cultural Imagination

在经济全球化的语境下,在文化转型的这样一个关键时刻,教育必须将其置身于"文化中国"的语境中,直面民族共同体的文化命运。而对文化的重新领会、重新进入,并在这种进入的过程中有所觉悟、有所发明,这就是教育的原初含义。而教育、文化、想象与人四者具有相同的时间结构,它们都将过去、当下、未来构成一体。教育、人、文化和想象本来就是一体相通,真正深刻地成为某个人也就与一种文化的命运不可分割地联系在一起。人的可能性中天然地包含着对文化的可能性的关切,人的自我想象中内在地具有文化想象的品格。教育就是要使得个体将自我的理解与一种文化的命运自觉关联起来。

In the context of economic globalization,especially at the key point of cultural transformation,education must put itself into the context of ＂Cultural China＂,and face the cultural fate of the national community.After all,education should renew itself in face with new cultural phenomenon.Furthermore,education,culture,imagination and human beings have the same temporal structure because they integrate the past、the present and the future.So the self-realization of human beings is related to the fate of a culture.The function of education is to relate a person＇s self-understanding to a cultural fate because the possibilities and imagination of an individual are naturally relevant to those of a certain culture.
