孔子和苏格拉底的教学方式与中西方文化

On Teaching Methods of Confucius & Socrates and Cultural Gap Between China and the West

孔子和苏格拉底是中西方文化史上最具影响力的智者。孔子作为儒家思想代表,是中国传统文化的象征。苏格拉底和孔子一样,从未著书立说,但是他影响着整个西方的哲学思想。孔子的"启发"艺术与苏格拉底的"产婆术"虽有异曲同工之处,但是两个教学方法的背后又蕴含着巨大的中西方文化差异。

Confucius and Socrates are the most influential sages in the history of Chinese and the western cultures respectively. As a representative of Confucianism, Confucius symbolizes the traditional Chinese culture. Like Confucius, Socrates never wrote anything and still influenced the western world of philosophy. Although the heuristic method of teaching by Confucius and the midwifery by Socrates are different teaching approaches but have equally satisfactory results, a huge cultural gap between China and the West is embodied in them.
