再论教育的忧郁

Rethinking of Melancholy of Education

为我们的教育而忧郁的人可谓有识之士。忧郁代表着一种觉醒,一种责任。我们把这种忧郁引伸到哲学上来,教育与哲学如此密不可分,兴盛教育需要同时从哲学和教育那里寻找出路。哲学的成长和繁荣离不开批判,教育及其他事业的兴旺需要深深的忧虑和深刻的批判。现在,学术上的功利主义严重地妨碍着我们,我们太崇尚感性,缺乏理论兴趣和哲学兴趣在妨碍我们深入反思教育改革。

Those who worry about education are individuals with insight. Melancholy represents a kind of arousal and responsibility. We extend this kind of melancholy to philosophy. Education has very close relationship with philosophy, and we should find solutions from both philosophy and education to make education flourish. The development and prosperity is contingent on criticism, and the prosperity of education and other enterprise need deep worries and criticism. Nowadays, academic utilitarianism is hindering us. We are too in love with sensibility, and lack of theoretical and philosophical interests to reflect educational reform.
