《大学》对生态教育的启示

Enlightenment of The Great Learning on Ecological Education

生态文明建设需要加强对人们的生态教育,即培养生态意识,学习生态知识,提升生态修养。《大学》“三纲八目”是儒家道德修养的基本功夫,“格致诚正、修齐治平”的修养途径对生态教育有着重要的启示作用。“格物致知”促进人们学习生态知识,了解自然;“诚意正心”使人去除外在物欲,培养人们对自然的仁爱之心,“礼”规范人们外在行为,培养人们的生态道德,形成对大自然的敬畏之心。在“家国”的层面上,家庭是个人生态教育的起点,国家通过学校教育及社会教育更全面地开展生态教育。在“天下”层面,构建生命共同体,最终实现人与自然的和谐共生。
