理性与诗性之间:教育对真善美的追求

Between Reason and Poetry: The Pursuit of Truth,Virtue and Beauty by Education

一直以来,教育问题始终如一的作为社会热点问题被社会各界所关注,教育的兴衰作为维系整个社会发展的终极动力一如既往的为教育家、哲学家、政治家所重视。而如何实现教育的至善、至美、至真,一直作为一个哲学问题被众多哲理大师所探究,南京师范大学刘云林教授曾从教育伦理价值取向的两个维度,为我们研究提供了新的视角。他说"教育伦理价值取向作为社会所设定的教育者行为之‘应然’,必须通过转化为新的‘实然’,即在社会生活中的实现方能体现自身的价值意义。在这里刘教授所论及的不外乎教育者在教育活动中所参与及其受教育者的实践活动,即实现这种‘应然’与‘实然’的桥梁。

Education has always been a heated public issue. The rise and fall of education, as the ultimate force to maintain social development, has always been a focus for educators, philosophers and politicians. How we can fulfill education＇s role in pursuing Truth, Virtue and Beauty, has always been a key issue for many philosophers. Liu Yunlin, professor of Nanjing Normal University, provides us with a new perspective based on education＇s eth- ical value orientation. He says, ＂the ethical value orientation of education as a ＂should-do＂ formulated by the society for educators, must be transformed into a new＂actually-do＂, i.e. individual value can only be fulfilled in social life.＂ Professor Liu＇s argument actually refers to educator＇s involvement in educational activities and practices, which is the bridge between ＂should-do＂ and ＂actually-do＂.
