精英、政府、大众:一般中国教育思想史

Elites,Government and the Mass——History of General Chinese Educational Thoughts

现在的"中国教育思想史"实质上仍然是教育精英思想史。教育精英的思想、政府的教育指导思想和大众的教育思想观念既相互区别又相互影响,三者的错位和磨合过程构成了真实的中国教育思想史———一般中国教育思想史。一般中国教育思想史要求教育思想史研究的对象范围、研究思路以及方式方法都要发生相应的调整和变化,要将反映历史上普通人教育思想观念的各种材料与传统典籍、典章一样作为研究的重点,并以新的眼光重新审视那些熟悉的经典文献,大胆引入民俗学、文化学、人类学、现象学等学科方法,借助田野考查突破单一书斋式研究的局限。

The history of Chinese educational thoughts is still regarded as the history of educational elitew＇ thoughts. There exist differences and interaction among the thoughts of educational elites, government and the mass which constitute the real history of Chinese educational thoughts, namely the history of general Chinese educational thoughts. According to the history of general Chinese educational thoughts, the range, object, train and methods of educational thoughts research should be adjusted. We must regard those materials wich reflect common people＇s educational thoughts as important as ancient literature, and review those classics with new eyes, boldly introduce the methods of folklore, culturology, anthropology and phenomenology etc. to break through the limitations of scholastic research.
