论庄子对知识在道德教育中的价值的认识

Zhuangzi's Perspectives on the Value of Knowledge in Moral Education

以儒家为主导的学校道德教育传统非常重视知识在道德教育中的价值及道德知识传授,庄子持有与儒家截然不同的观点,他认为知识并不能作为道德存在的根据,知识也不能被应用于道德的领域,知识不仅无益于道德问题的解决,在道德教育中进行道德知识教化对道德的养成还是有害的,人的道德所依赖的并不是"已知"而是"未知",因此必须将其从道德的领域予以彻底的清除,同时要彻底改变人的知识论的道德思维方式。

The Confucian-dominated tradition of School moral education attaches great importance to the value of knowledge in moral education and the conveying of moral knowledge. However, Zhuangzi had entirely different perspectives. He doubted knowledge as the base of the existence of morality and asserted that knowledge can not be applied in moral field. Knowledge is not only useless to the solving of moral problems, but also harmful to the development of morality if it is taught in moral educalion. In Zhuangzi＇s understanding, as the moral life of human is based on the ＂unknown＂ rather than the ＂known＂, moral knowledge should be removed from the moral field; meanwhile, the epistemology, as the way of moral thinking should be changed drastically.
