“儿童哲学”概念的纷争与甄别

Disputes and Discrimination of the Concept“Philosophy for Children”

近年来,“儿童哲学”及其变体内涵的认知偏差持续发酵,甚而有蔓延、扩大之势,有必要得到理性的辨明。“儿童的哲学”与“童年哲学”实为幼童的思想探究,偏于疑问、好奇、追问,而非系统的逻辑演绎与理性判定;儿童哲学教育及其变体并非简单地并进、互通、相融。作为舶来品,“儿童哲学”本是先进观念、新生事物,我们理当批判性地解读、消化、吸收、创造,谨慎地传承先贤的研究成果,勇于探索,走出一条富有中国特色的儿童哲学教育之路。

Recent years have witnessed the cognitive deviation of the connotation of“children's philosophy”and its variants,and the deviation is apt to worsen in a large scale.It is necessary to make a rational identification.“Children's philosophy”and“childhood philosophy”are essentially children's philosophical inquiry,which mainly refers to query,curiosity and inquiry rather than systematic logical deduction and rational judgment.Children's philosophy education and its variants do not go hand in hand,communicate and integrate with each other in a simple manner.As an imported product,“children's philosophy”is originally a new thing with advanced concept.Thus,we should critically interpret,digest,absorb,create,and prudently inherit the research achievements of the sages,courageously exploring a road of children's philosophy education with Chinese characteristics.
