教育与社会的关系：适应与超越

Relationships between Education and Society: Adaptation and Transcendence

社会并非一块同质的铁板,而是一个由多种不同性质的因素和关系构成的复杂系统。在这个系统中,个人的自由意志、人群的一般倾向性和物质世界的规律三个因素起支配作用,而在不同社会领域,三个因素发挥作用的程度不同。在主要由物质世界规律和人群一般倾向性支配的教育与经济的关系中,教育更多是适应;在个人自由意志发挥更大作用的教育与政治和文化的关系中,教育有更多机会超越。不断超越现状的理想是人类发展和进步的推动力量。

Society is a complex system of various factors and relationships, rather than a homogeneous iron plate. In this system, the free will of individual, the general tendency of population and the law of the material world play a dominant role. While in different social fields, the three factors play a different role. In the relationship between education and the economy, which is dominated by the laws of the material world and the general tendency of the population, education is more adaptive. In the relationship between education,politics and culture in which individual free will plays a greater role, education has more opportunities to transcend. The ideal of constantly surpassing the status quo is the driving force of human development and progress.
