质疑与回应:教育哲学的一次申辩

Questioning and Responding:Defense of Education Philosophy

目前,对教育哲学的质疑有三:一是教育哲学是高妙的空谈,于实践无益(大众的质疑);二是教育哲学对教育事实的研究不科学、不专业(科学主义的质疑);三是所谓的好教育是不存在的,好教育根本上由时代决定(历史主义的质疑)。这些质疑基本上都源于对教育哲学本质的误解。回应这些质疑应认识到,教育哲学的本质是对好教育的爱和追求,它坚持从常识世界出发去反思和理解教育本身,以实现最终的上升。教育哲学在根本上乃是一种无知之知。教育实践的真正改善只有经由教育哲学才得以可能。

There are three aspects of doubt about Education Philosophy now. The first, education philosophy is empty talk, and is not good for practice （the masses＇ doubts）; the second, education philosophy is not scientific research on education facts （scientism＇s doubts）; the third, there is no good education, good education is determined by the history （historicism＇s doubts）. All these doubts stems from a misunderstanding of education philosophy. Responding these questions, we should realize that the essence of education philosophy is to pursue good education. Education philosophy insists that we should understand the education from the common sense in order to achieve the final rise. Education philosophy is a fundamentally know of ignorance. The improvements of educational practice relies on the education philosophy.
