论儿童哲学“开放性”的遮蔽与澄明

Concealment and Clarification of the“Openness”of Philosophy for Children

儿童哲学区别于传统教育的一大特色与亮点就在于其具有"开放性"。但当前儿童哲学的开展仍停驻于"开放性问题"上,导致虚假对话、思维停顿、结果导向的实践困境,从而也遮蔽了儿童哲学"爱智"背后所隐含的"爱人"本旨。因此,儿童哲学还应当深入到对儿童"开放的心灵(Open-mindness)"的关照与培育上来。"开放的心灵"是从儿童本有而来,是儿童理智德性的展现,亦推动了儿童的认知进程,是开展儿童哲学的逻辑起点与实现目标。深化儿童哲学的"开放性",还需要坚持交还给儿童"质疑"的权力,学会成为"无知的"教师,以及接纳儿童的"不确定性"的实践理路。

Philosophy for Children is different from the traditional classroom a major feature and bright spot lies in its"openness".However,the current development of Philosophy for Children still stays on the"openly question",which will lead to the practical dilemma of false dialogue,thinking pause and result orientation,thus obscuring the essence of"love men"behind the"love wisdom"of Philosophy for Children.Therefore,Philosophy for Children should also go deep into the care and cultivation of children’s"Open-mindness"."Open-mindness"comes from children,is the display of children’s intellectual virtues,also promotes children’s cognitive process,and is the logical starting point and realization goal of Philosophy for Children.In order to deepen the"openness"of Philosophy for Children,it is also necessary to insist on returning the right to"question"to children,learn to become"ignorant"teachers and accept children’s"uncertainty".
