相对主义道德教育思潮及其对当代中国学校道德教育的启示

On the Relativism Thought of Moral Education and its Implications for Educational Practice in Contemporary Schools in China

道德、道德教育与文化之间具有必然、内在的逻辑关联。作为一种外域文化参照,相对主义道德教育思潮坚持多元化的道德取向,注重培养道德判断和选择能力,反对灌输和教师权威。这尽管回应了异质、多元的道德现实,凸显了道德及道德教育的主体本质,有助于提高学生对道德情境的适应能力,但也内含悖论,割裂内容与形式,道德评价模糊。相对主义道德教育思潮的利弊得失提示当代中国学校道德教育要以道德共识为底线,以道德智慧的生成为旨归,坚守道德性,并以生活为基本途径。

There is a necessary,inherent and logical relationship among morality,moral education and culture.Therefore,moral education in today＇s Chinese schools is confronted with the challenges of relativism in the multicultural world.Relativistic thought of moral education is a kind of foreign cultural reference,whose advantages and disadvantages can provide many references and implications for the reform of moral education in today＇s Chinese schools.
