孔子和亚里士多德的“中庸”思想与儿童教育主张的比较

Comparison of the doctrine of the mean and the ideas of children's education between Confucius and Aristotle

孔子和亚里士多德都是伟大的思想家和教育家。在相似的历史背景下，他们提出了“中庸”思想。在其教育主张中，“中庸”思想充分体现在其教育目标是培养具有“中庸”之道的统治者之中，他们还确立了因材施教、注重道德实践、循序渐进以及美育与德育相结合的教育原则。

Confucius and Aristotles are great philosophers and educators. They advanced the theory of the mean in similar historical background. In educational theory, they thought that raising the governors with the doctrine of the mean was the educational aim. Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, laying stress on moral be-haviour of children, proceeding in an orderly way and step by step as well as combing aesthetic education with moral education are educational principles.
