试析科学教育与人文教育分离的根源——从科学观与人文观的角度看

An Analysis of Reasons for the Separation of Science Education from Humanist Education

科学教育与人文教育的分离,不仅应当归咎于狭隘的教育观,而且归根结底应当归咎于狭隘的科学观和人文观。包括实证主义和功利主义在内的狭隘的科学观与包括现代西方人本主义和现代新儒家在内的狭隘的人文观,不仅是导致科学文化与人文文化相分离的重要根源,而且也是导致科学教育与人文教育相分离的重要根源。只有从根本上转变狭隘的科学观与人文观,才能从根本上转变狭隘的教育观,从而真正实现科学教育与人文教育的相互融合。

The separation of science education from humanist education originates from the illiberal outlook on education and the shortsighted outlook on science and humanism. Specifically, both the shortsighted outlook on science including positivism and utilitarianism and the illiberal outlook on humanism including the Western humanism and contemporary new Confucianism are not only the major source of the separation of scientific culture from humanist culture, but also the reason for the divorce between science education and humanist education. Only by changing the illiberal outlook on science and humanism can we have a thorough transition of the shortsighted outlook on education and realize the true integration of science education and humanist education.
