回溯与反思:李普曼对杜威的质疑

Tracing and Reflecting:Lipman’s Questioning of Dewey

李普曼的儿童哲学与杜威的教育哲学有着重要关联。通过历史回溯发现,李普曼因受杜威教育哲学的吸引而初叩哲学之门,因对杜威教育哲学的质疑而走向儿童哲学之路,成为儿童哲学的开创者。李普曼质疑杜威的"哲学是教育的一般理论"命题以及"科学探究"方法,并以此构建了儿童哲学的重要基点——哲学在基础教育领域的实践化和"哲学探究"方法。通过还原杜威思想发现,李普曼的质疑基于误解。儿童哲学的发展需要以杜威为借鉴,恰当地处理好儿童、哲学和教育的关系,以及儿童哲学课程和其他课程的关系。

There is an important relationship between Lipman’s philosophy for children and Dewey’s educational philosophy.Through the historical review,Lipman was attracted by Dewey’s philosophy of education to the gate of philosophy.Lipman questioned Dewey’s philosophy as the general principle of education and the method"scientific inquiry"and formed an important basis of philosophy for children—the practicality of P4 C and the method of"philosophical inquiry."Through exploring Dewey’s thoughts,the questionings were based on misunderstandings.The development of P4 C needs to go back to Dewey and properly handle the relationship among philosophy,children and education,and between P4 C courses and others.
