知行合一:人文教育根本原则

Unity of Knowledge and Practice:Fundamental Principle of Humanistic Education

重申知行合一不仅是中华传统智慧复兴的要求,更是对现代人外在强大精致内在虚空贫乏的精神性困境问题的回应。知行合一具有双重内涵,在人文认知层面,知行合一意味着口念心行,它是一种心上功夫;在人文实践层面,知行合一体现在理念与行动的统一,它是一种事上磨炼。领悟于内,作用于外,彼此交养互发,内外本末,一以贯之。在文化自觉视域下,我们不仅要自觉中国传统智慧的内容,更要从方法论上进行自觉。知行合一是教育达至成己成人本源性目的的前提,这意味着生命性教学需要教师“教行合一”和学生“学行合一”的统一,只有师生双主体共同的“行”才能真正实现师生内在生命的和谐与丰盈,文化生命与文化价值才能得以不断更新和提升。

The reiteration of the unity of knowing and acting is not only the requirement of the revival of traditional Chinese wisdom,but also a response to the spiritual dilemma of modern people,who are strong and delicate outside but empty and poor inside.The unity of knowing and acting has double connotations.At the level of humanistic cognition,it means the words,thoughts and deeds,which is a kind of mental force.At the level of humanistic practice,it is embodied in the unity of ideas and actions.From the perspective of cultural consciousness,we should not only realize the content of Chinese traditional wisdom,but also realize it from the perspective of methodology.The unity of knowing and acting is the premise for education to achieve the original purpose of becoming an adult,which means that life teaching needs the unity from both teachers and students.Only so,the harmony of the inner life of teachers and students can be truly realized,and the cultural life and value can be continuously updated and promoted.
