公共危机与个体自我教育觉醒:新冠肺炎疫情防控的人文证据

Public Crisis and Individual’s Awakening to Self⁃education:Evidence of Humanities in COVID⁃19 Epidemic Prevention and Control

自我教育指个体成为教育“他自己”的主体,以此实现自我存在与行动的意义。公共危机对社会生活秩序的破坏,从中可以获得一种理性态度和美德批判的回应,这与自我教育相关联。在我国新冠疫情防控实践中,涌现出无数最美“逆行者”,确证了自我教育的实践力量。但部分个体存在私己、谣言、平庸之恶等自我教育的缺失,给疫情防控带来负面影响。重申自我教育,就要构建理性、良善、反思与行动统合的个体教育境界。后疫情时代,个体应当延展学校教育,依据自我觉知、由爱出发和切己行动的逻辑线索完成自我教育觉醒,克服公共危机对美好生活的阻碍,彰显个体生命价值追求的自觉与活力。

Self⁃education means that an individual becomes the subject of his/her own education,so as to highlight the significance of self⁃existence and action.From the destruction of public crisis to the order of social life,we can get a rational attitude and a critical response of virtue,which is related to self⁃education.In China’s practice of COVID⁃19 prevention and control,numerous heroes emerged in harm’s way.They proved the power of self⁃education in practice.However,the loss of self⁃education in some individuals,as manifested in selfishness,rumor⁃spreading,and the banality of evil,has a negative impact on epidemic prevention and control.To reiterate self⁃education is to construct an individual education realm composed of rationality,kindness,and the unity of reflection and action.In the post⁃epidemic era,an individual should extend school education and become awakening to self⁃education in his/her self⁃awareness,feeling of love and self⁃directed action to overcome the obstacles of public crisis to a better life,and highlight the autonomy and vitality of the value pursuit of an individual life.
