后现代视野中的道德教育

后现代道德教育从各个角度向现代道德教育的统一性、整体性、权威性和理性化挑战,给人们展现一种开放的、多元的、批判的、平等和对话的道德和道德教育的新面貌。在道德教育的目标上,它瓦解了现代性的完人理想和标准化的人格追求;在教育内容上,它强调去中心化,关注那些边缘性的道德主题;在教育方式上,更主张“对话式”的教育方式;在师生关系上,它提倡主体间性。但后现代的道德教育观是松散和凌乱的,并不是一个严谨的体系,其内容歧义丛生、相互矛盾甚至是对立的,因此,对后现代道德教育观应冷静对待,全盘吸收和简单的排斥都是错误的。

A Post-modern Perspective of Moral Education

Post-modern moral education has been posing challenges to the unity, integration, authority and rationality of contemporary moral education from different angles and has been showing a new outlook of open, pluralistic, critical, equal and dialogue-based moreal education. In terms of objective, post-modern moral education destructs the modern ideal of perfect human beings and standardized dignity. As to content, post-modern moral education weakens the focus issues by emphasizing those frontier themes of moral education. The post-modern moral education advocates the method of teaching through dialogue and emphasizes subject of student-teacher relationship. However, the conception of post-modern moral education is both loose and in disorder instead of a scrupulous system. Therefore, both rush favor and simple refusal of post-modern moral education are possibly wrong. We should absorb the advantages of post-modern ideas, utilize the intelligence to rethink our current moral education and guide our practice with rational proposals.
