教育不能迷失了“心性”——由“江歌案”引发的心性论思考

Education must not Lose Its Nature of Mind——From the Perspective of the Theory of the Nature of Mind Triggered by the Killing of Jiang Ge

心性论是儒家思想最基本的理论,儒家心性论注重存心养性、由内而外的修养之道,是中国传统文化的核心思想。但是,"心性"教育的缺失对我们的学习、生活和精神世界产生了不良的影响。我们应该从自我做起反身而诚,在家庭中生成心性规范的认同,并且与学校形成心性教育的合力,同时,国家和社会力量渗入心性教育体系,为心性教育创造良好的外部环境,形成践行共同体,从而促进社会发展和精神升华达到真正意义上的平衡。

The theory of the nature of mind is the primary theory of confucianism which puts emphasis on the way of self-cultivation of one’s nature of mind from inside out.This is the core concept of Chinese traditional culture.However,education seems to lose its nature of mind at present which brings negative effect on people’s life and inner world.Therefore,we should take personal initiative to preserve our sincerity and to form moral criterion in family.Both family and school should cooperate in a concerted effort on the cultivation of people’s nature of mind.Furthermore,the whole country and society should help to promote education system in this aspect to create an positive environment for the cultivation of people’s nature of mind,so that a fulfillment community can be formed to promote a real balance between the development of the society and of people’s spiritual sublimation.
