论中国古代哲学的“践形”说及其育人价值

On the "Practice" Theory of Chinese Ancient Philosophy and its Educational Value

在形神关系问题上中国哲学历来持重形轻神的立场。源自先秦的"践形"说最能体现这一道统。这一人生哲学观为死亡的超越提供了现实理性的路径。它不祈求灵魂不灭或肉身不朽,而是主张通过后天的或立德,或立功,或立言,或兼而有之的"践形"来实现短暂生命的永恒价值。这一传统的当代价值体现可为化人、育人提供清晰的学理支撑和清明的价值指引。

On the issue of the relationship between form and spirit,Chinese philosophy has always had a preference of form to spirit,which can be best reflected by the"practice"theory from the pre-Qin Dynasty.This philosophy of life provides a realistic and rational path for the transcendence of death.It does not pray for the immortality of the soul or the immortality of the body,but advocates the realization of the eternal value of a short life through"practice",which indicates the realization of Men’s body functions through setting virtues,building achievements or writing works,or achieving all of the three.This philosophical tradition can provide clear academic support and clear value guidance for college educators.
