生养与修养——论“心”的教育境界

Nourish and Cultivate: Mind' s Educational consciousness

心学不同于其它儒学的地方,是在于它论证了"心"作为内在的本原和成圣的根据。心学的教育功能,主要表现为"心"在感知外物上的理性辨析、理解过程。一般而言,"心学"涉及人的三个层面:自然的生理层面;人文的社会层面;天人合一的心灵层面,而从教育功能上来说,这三个层面相互连续,相互长入,相互融合,是一个有机的整体。从教育方法而言,贯穿这三个层面的核心问题是对"心"的培植与修养。

Mind- philosophy,different from other branches of Confucianism,demonstrates that it is the heart that is the exact inherent principle and foundation to become to a sage. It educates people mainly through the process of rationally analyzing and perceiving the outward objects with their ＂mind＂. Generally speaking,mind- philosophy involves three parts related to human beings,that is physiology in nature,society in humanity,and the unity between human and nature in spirit. From the educational relationship perspective,these three parts are inter- connected,inter- integrated,and can be seen as an organic unification. From the educational methodology perspective,the core problem throughout these three parts is how to cultivate the ＂mind＂.
