《道德经》抱朴归真的德育思想及其当代价值

On the Value of Moral Education Thought in Tao te Ching

德育不仅是提升人的道德素养、促进人全面发展的重要途径,而且是实现社会主义现代化、实现中华民族复兴的强力后盾。《道德经》在其独有的哲学内涵的基础上,提出了较为丰富的德育理念。这一理念对当代德育的启示价值主要表现在:“圣人”之德行指明了德育的目标,为树立青少年形成科学的“三观”提供依据;“上善若水”“虚若怀谷”“抱朴归真”等观念中蕴含的德育内容,有助于青少年形成无私奉献,尊师重教等优秀人格品质;“道体德用”“行不言之教”等德育观念,可以为优化当代德育方法提供借鉴价值。

Moral education is not only an important way to improve people’s moral quality and promote their all-round development,but also a powerful backing for realizing socialist modernization and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.The moral education value of Tao te Ching is mainly manifested in the following:the virtue of“sage”points out the goal of moral education,and provides a basis for establishing a correct outlook on the world,life,and values for young people;the meanings of“water”,“emptiness”and“simplicity”help young people learn the spirit of dedication and respect teachers;such moral education thoughts as respecting the law,preaching by example,can provide reference value for contemporary moral education methods.
