论现代教育的“幸福追求”

About the Pursuit of Happiness of Contemporary Education

教育是人类追求幸福的一种方式,每个时代的教育都有自己的幸福追求。现代教育有自己的幸福观,从批判的角度看,其追求的是"明天的幸福"、"外在的幸福"、"竞争的幸福"。正是这种幸福追求,制造了现代人,尤其是受教育者的种种不幸,包括被毁的今天生活、利益追逐与沉溺于物质享受、被"成功的暴政"所控制等。因此,研究教育与幸福的关系,不能总是从应然的角度论证教育所具有的幸福功能,还应从幸福哲学的角度审视实然的现代教育,发现其真实存在的"幸福困境",为现代教育幸福功能的真正发挥提供另一方向的思考。

To human beings,education is one way of pursuing happiness.Education in each era has its own pursuit of happiness.Contemporary education also has its own concept of happiness.From the critical perspective,it＇s pursuing a different kind of happiness,which can be explained to be ＂tomorrow happiness＂,＂external happiness＂ and ＂competitive happiness＂.It is the kind of happiness that has created modern people,especially has caused many kinds of misfortune of the educated,such as destroyed today＇s life,the chase of interests,indulging in material pleasures,and being controlled by ＂successful tyranny＂.So during the study of the relation between education and happiness,we shouldn＇t always demonstrate the happiness function of education from the perspective of what-it-should-be,but also look at the real contemporary education from the aspect of happiness philosophy.Then the real ＂happiness dilemma＂ of contemporary education should be found,and another direction of thinking can be provided for the display of happiness function of contemporary education.
