儿童的家庭处境与家庭教育的危机

Children’s family situation and the crisis of family education

本文借鉴政治哲学家汉娜·阿伦特思考教育危机的理路,将家庭教育放在其发生的场所中重新加以审视。研究发现,现代社会的兴起导致了家庭对于儿童的隐藏功能的下降,儿童因此被迫暴露于公共世界当中;为公共的,以勇气为最高善的家庭教育被为私人的,以生命为最高善的家庭教育所逆转;家庭教育的危机本质上是现代社会家庭危机的一种突出表现,即成年人对儿童与世界的双重的爱与责任的缺失、让渡甚至放弃。在《中华人民共和国家庭教育促进法》为应对危机提供了法律保障的前提下,危机的真正解除还需要重建家庭对儿童与世界的爱与责任,这需要一批家庭教育的行动者通过身体力行的示范才能得以实现。

This paper draws on the political philosophy Hannah Arrent for thinking about the education crisis,and reexamines the family education in the place where it happens.Studies have found that the rise of modern society has led to the decline of the hidden function of families for children,so children are forced to be exposed to the public world;For the public,to the courage as the highest good family education is reversed by for the private,to the life as the highest good family education;The crisis of family education is essentially a prominent manifestation of the family crisis in modern society,that is,the lack,transfer and even abandonment of adults’dual love and responsibility for children and the world.On the premise that the law of the people’s Republic of China on the promotion of family education provides a legal guarantee to deal with the crisis,the real lifting of the crisis also needs to rebuild the family’s love and responsibility for children and the world,which can be realized only by a group of actors of family education through practical demonstration.
