谁是最初的教育者——康德教育逻辑起点问题之追问

Who Is the Original Educator——An Inquiry into Kant’s Thinking on the Starting Point of the Educational Logic

“谁是最初的教育者”涉及教育成为可能的逻辑起点,是教育哲学的根本问题。康德的教育哲学关注了这一难题,但否认了神圣的存在者,以及能够自我教化的“第一个人”。为了解决这一难题,康德走向了历史哲学,走向了历史中的“天意”。康德认为,天意是最初的教育者。不过天意教育的出现,意味着人的教育的终结。若要走出康德的解题思路所导致的困境,一条可行的道路就是走向将教育者与学习者关联在一起的真正的“教育实践”。

"Who is the original educator," which involves education as the possible logical starting point, remains a fundamental question for educational philosophy. Kant paid attention to this question in his educational philosophy, but he denied the existence of "ein heiliges Wesen", or the "first person" enlightening himself. To solve this problem, Kant turned to the philosophy of history, along with "providence" in history, believing that "providence" was the original educator. However,"providence education" implies the end of "human education."Thus, a viable solution to the difficult dilemma caused by Kant's thoughts is a genuine "educational praxis" connecting educators and learners.
