人文教育:由唯概念思维走向“象思维”

Humanism Education: from Conceptual Reasoning to Non-conceptual Reasoning

由于知识领域成为工具理性主导的市场,客观主义的科学标准成为衡量一切知识的标准,唯概念思维成为人们思维的“意识形态”,致使人文教育在整体上深深陷入唯概念的、唯理性的思维洞穴之中。出路在于立足于知识的“默会维度”来理解人文知识的特性,探索出符合人文教育特点的理论和方法。被忽略了的中国传统人文精髓———“象思维”———正是当代人文教育需要承继和复兴的智慧所在。

Influenced by scientific objectivism, humanism education has fallen into the trap of absolute rationalism. Based on a comparison of “humanism”with “science”, this paper examines the differences between knowledge and intuitive knowledge, language and truth and conceptual reasoning and non-conceptual reasoning. From such differences, the author perceives some unique characteristics of humanism education. It argues that humanism education should learn from Chinese traditional thinking so as to get out of absolute rationalism.
