柏拉图的青年品格教育思想及其当代启示——基于对《理想国》的解读

Plato’s Thought of Youth Character Education and Its Contemporary Enlightenment—Based on Interpretation of the Republic

品格训练是柏拉图《理想国》中提倡的对青年进行品格教育的重要教育途径,是促进个人身心和谐的前提,是培养正义城邦和正义个人的必要手段,是塑造“完人”的核心措施,也是使个人达到城邦生活“至善”的重要通道。柏拉图把实现城邦正义作为品格训练的价值导向、把个人身心和谐发展作为品格训练目标,以及把音乐教育作为品格训练的熏陶环境等品格教育思想对我们当今青年品格的塑造和养成仍然具有一定的启示意义,主要体现在有利于形成和坚持教育立德树人的价值导向、促进学生全面发展的教育理念、发挥环境育人的协同功用和实现知情意行有机统一等方面。

Through character training,a“flawless man”can be made,and he can assimilate into the“best”city-state life.According to Plato’s concept of character training,the ultimate goal is to realize city-state justice,the training objective is to achieve a harmonious development of a person’s body and mind,and one of the most important means is through music.His thoughts are of great reference value to us modern day people as they are conducive to cultivating talents with high moral standard and all-round development.They highlight education environment and focus on the organic unity of knowledge,emotion,intention and action.
