孟子“深造自得”解析

Analysis of “Pursuing Advanced Studies” of Mencius

"深造自得"一语最早出自两千多年前的思想家、教育家孟子。对此,许多学者都从不同角度进行了阐释。本文结合有关思想家、教育家的言论对其进行解读,发现"深造自得"是向内心求索的学习,是自觉与自悟的学习,是质疑问难的学习,是自我反省的学习,是虚心涵泳的学习,是自我体验的学习,是自然真乐的学习,是日新日进的学习,是居敬持志的学习。"深造自得"作为一种古代学习策略对后世学者产生了深远的影响,也得到许多后世学者直接或间接的阐释和弘扬。这一古老而富有生命力的学习策略,对于当下人们的学习仍具有启发与借鉴的价值。
