“回归马克思”:批判教育学的发展选择及其问题——以麦克拉伦的探索为例

“Return to Marx”:Current Critical Choice of the Development of Education&Its Problems and a Case Study of McLaren's Exploration

以麦克拉伦为代表的一批西方批判教育学者,在当前资本主义危机加深及左派重振运动的背景下,提出“回归马克思”,其目的在于使批判教育学变成一种废除资本主义剥削关系、克服人的异化而实现人的解放的教育学。批判教育学“回归马克思”实际借用了马克思主义人文主义解释的概念范畴和分析框架。由于批判教育学理论的非经典马克思主义的立场和对资本主义制度立足于修补的改良色彩,因而回归马克思的努力也只是“修正”马克思主义,它对资本主义的批判意义是有限度的,因此它也就不可能成为真正的马克思主义教育学。

Some western critical education scholars,represented by McLaren,put forward that critical pedagogy should“return to Marx”and make unremitting efforts under the background of the contemporary capitalist crisis deepening and the left revitalization.As a new development trend of critical pedagogy,“return to Marx”borrows Marx's original narrative mode to revise he Marxist critical tradition in form.However,because of its non-classical Marxist position and revision rather than revolutionization of the capitalist system,it is impossible to become a real Marxist pedagogy.Therefore,the significance of critical pedagogy in criticizing capitalism is limited.
