西方“学习型社会”:基于社会范畴的理解

“The Learning Society” in the West Based on the Understanding of Social Category

自赫钦斯(R.M.Hutehins)1968年提出"学习型社会"概念,至今已有四十余年,期间经历了国际、国家和地区层面的实践拷问,也沐浴了兰森、韦尔顿及贾维斯等著名学者的批判完善,现已日臻成熟。作为一种源发于西方的人类理想,"学习型社会"活跃在理念与现实两个层面,虽然理念和现实同属一个实体,但理念的乌托邦维度更趋于驱动人们对理想的吁求,而现实的全球化特征则以一股不可阻挡的势力把人卷入其中,理想与现实的矛盾汇成席卷一切的洪流,在人类历史的长河中翻腾,而这正是社会形态的历史表达。

Since＂learning society＂ was proposed by Hutehins in 1968,so far,the course of more than 40 years,experiencing the international,national and local levels practice,also absorbing the criticism and modification of famous scholars such as Ranson,Welton Jarvis et al.,has been more and more mature gradually.Rooting in the western society,＂learning society＂ are active in two aspects as the idea and reality.Although idea and reality belong to one entity,the utopian dimension of the concept tends to drive people to the calls on the ideal,and the reality of globalization features with an unstoppable forces make people involved.The contradiction between the ideal and the reality has merged into the torrent sweeping all churn in human history,which is the historical expression of social form.
