从“人的符号化”到“符号的人化”——论教育的基点和归宿

From Symbolization of Human to Humanization of Symbols——Study on Basic Point and Destination of Education

学校教育的目的是让人从自然人变成符号人,这一过程中包含着辩证统一的两个方面:一是“人的符号化”——学校通过系统的课程、完备的教材和科学的教学,让学生熟悉、了解、掌握和积累各种符号形态和符号意义;二是“符号的人化”——针对当下符号出现的过度商业化、丑陋化、暴力化和内卷化等问题,教育呼吁人本化、人文化的回归,让学生在解释、使用符号时,能凸显符号的超越性、审美性、伦理性和创造性。

The purpose of education is to realize the change from natural person to symbolic person.In this process,there are two aspects of dialectical unity.One is symbolization of human,in which students can be familiar with,understand,master and accumulate various symbol forms and symbol meanings through courses,teaching materials and scientific teaching.The other one is humanization of symbols.In view of the excessive commercialization,ugliness,violence and involution of symbols,education needs to call for the return of humanism and human culture.In this way,when students interpret and use symbols,they can highlight the transcendence,aesthetics,ethics and creativity of symbols.
