哲学视域中的生命教育——兼评冯友兰人生四境界说

Life Education from the View of Philosophy Also on Feng Youlan's Theory of “Four Levels of Life”

长期以来,我国的青少年教育多流于功利主义,不断培养出这样那样的"人才",相对忽视了培养"人"本身。这种教育过分注重让人去符合各种行业标准,却失落了对生命本质及其意义的探寻。一方面,社会固然创造出巨额物质财富;另一方面,许多青少年出现厌世情绪,自杀率居高不下。从哲学高度引导青少年反思生存和死亡,体认生命的价值和尊严,已成为我国大中学校教育的重大课题。

For a long time the adolescent education in China has often been inclined to be utilitarian. We trained different kinds of ＂men of ability＂, while neglected the education of how to be a human. In our education we attached too much importance to fit people into various standards of vocation, but give up the exploration of nature and meaning of life. On the one hand, enormous material wealth was created; on the other hand, a number of adolescents developed mood of world-weariness, and the suicide rate of adolescents remained high. It has become a major topic of college and high school education to guide the adolescents to reflect on life and death, and to realize the value and dignity of life.
