试评老子“无为”思想的教育价值

On educational values of the conception of nothing by Laoze

在当代教育借鉴中华民族传统文化的潮流中,儒家思想以刚健有为、注重主体精神的"有为"理念成为进德、修身、立业和积极入世的弘道,而以老子"无为而治"为代表的道家学理却往往被看作消极遁世、封闭落后的学识而予以否定。实际上,以老子为代表的道家"无为"理念涵化着深刻的辩证法思想和注重客观、实事求是的唯物主义原则,道家与儒家"有为"政治一起"相异相济、殊途同归",成为中华文化传承中的两大基本派别和中华文明的慧命哲学,对当代教育亦具积极的现实意义。

Modern Chinese education merges with the classic culture of progress-oriented Confucianism but not the conservatism-oriented Daoism,the latter of which implies the profound dialectical materialism.In effect,both have formed great schools of Chinese philosophy and traditions.
