异化与回归:儿童生活视野下的教育精神

Alienation and Return: The Spirit of Education from the Perspective of Children's Life

儿童生活作为完整生命存在的一个阶段,有着独立的意义与价值。然而,现实生活中儿童生活却异化于社会给定的培养目标、行为准则以及规范标准中,表现为生活中主体性、生命体验以及创造性的缺失。究其根本,源于教育精神的异化。真正的教育就是解放,让儿童知晓其本性里面原初的和根本的素材构成,帮助儿童找回自我。因而,教育应当观照儿童的美好生活,在自由、创造、自我实现以及德性的精神下唤醒、带领、指引儿童过美好生活。

Childhood life, as a stage of whole life, has independent significance and value. However, children’s lives in reality are alienated in the given training objectives, behavioral norms, and normative standards of the society. They are manifested as the lack of subjectivity, life experience, and creativity in life. The fundamental reason stems from the alienation of the educational spirit. Real education is emancipation, letting the children know the original and fundamental material composition in his nature, helping children back to themselves. Therefore, education should observe the beauty of children’s life, and awaken, lead, and guide children to a better life under the spirit of freedom, creativity, self-fulfillment and virtue.
