中西传统教育思想的比较

本周我读的文章是关于中西传统教育思想的比较。 在这篇研究，作者强调中国的课程伦的区别。 在课程轮，西方传统为自由品性重要，同时中国传统把道德性为主。中国传统包括“六艺”的现象。中国的“六艺”包括“礼”，“乐”， “射”，“御”， “书”， 和数。西方的传统教育思想有相关的思想，叫“七艺”。 “七艺”包括， 文法、修辞、辩证法、算术、几何、天文学和音乐。这两个教育传统有相似的题目，但是基础是不一样的。另外， 作者说西方的教育思想是天人相分，中国的教育思想是天人合一。 作者认为两者教育思想具有互补性。在这两个“艺”的教育思想， 可以看得出来那个时候的环境的情况。思想家的环境影响到他们的教育理论。 这也让他们的学生受到影响。 孟子曰：“性相近，习相远。”这两个思想强调环境对学生的深刻影响。

另外， 上课的时候我读了一句话爱因斯坦说的话。 对我来说，这句话跟孟子的看法有密切的关系。如果你想读爱因斯坦说的话，请看一看：
Einstein: “Man is, at one and the same time, a solitary being and a social being. As a solitary being, he attempts to protect his own existence and that of those who are closest to him, to satisfy his personal desires, and to develop his innate abilities. As a social being, he seeks to gain the recognition and affection of his fellow human beings, to share in their pleasures, to comfort them in their sorrows, and to improve their conditions of life. Only the existence of these varied, frequently conflicting, strivings accounts for the special character of a man, and their specific combination determines the extent to which an individual can achieve an inner equilibrium and can contribute to the well-being of society. It is quite possible that the relative strength of these two drives is, in the main, fixed by inheritance. But the personality that finally emerges is largely formed by the environment in which a man happens to find himself during his development, by the structure of the society in which he grows up, by the tradition of that society, and by its appraisal of particular types of behavior. The abstract concept “society” means to the individual human being the sum total of his direct and indirect relations to his contemporaries and to all the people of earlier generations. The individual is able to think, feel, strive, and work by himself; but he depends so much upon society—in his physical, intellectual, and emotional existence—that it is impossible to think of him, or to understand him, outside the framework of society. It is “society” which provides man with food, clothing, a home, the tools of work, language, the forms of thought, and most of the content of thought; his life is made possible through the labor and the accomplishments of the many millions past and present who are all hidden behind the small word “society.” https://monthlyreview.org/2009/05/01/why-socialism/
