洛克《教育片论》中的儿童节制论

The Self-Denial Theory for Children in John Locke's Some Thoughts Concerning Education

洛克《教育片论》中的节制论包含基础、表现、升华三个层次。理性为节制品性的形成打下了坚实的基础。节制的具体表现是控制自己不良的性情倾向、克制当前快乐的欲望和抵制痛苦的纠缠。当个体的为人处世得体时,节制就得到了升华。洛克的节制论为培养儿童的节制品性指明了方向:首先应将培养儿童的节制品性置于教育的重要地位;其次需尊重儿童,把他看做是"理性的动物";再次要有效利用儿童的荣誉感和羞耻感以及在体育中培养儿童的节制品性。
