“大学之道”对建构当代大学精神的意义

《大学》对于塑造当代大学的大学精神具有重要参考价值。其中“明明德”和“亲民”的“纲领”分别对应于“追求崇高”和“勇于担当”的大学精神。“明明德”要求在教学和科研中应当具有追求崇高的精神：道德的崇高和知识的崇高；“亲民”要求大学师生应当具备科学精神、公民素质，要有战略思维、世界眼光和担当意识。大学要主动服务社会，转化知识、促进教育。二者相辅相成，追求卓越，精益求精，“止于至善”。

On Significance of the Great Learning Adoration for the Construction of Contemporary University Spirits

The Great Learning is quite significant for reference to the construction of contemporary university spirits,of which "being aware of virtue" and "being close to citizens" correspond respectively to the contemporary university spirits "pursuing prominence" and "being brave to bear responsibility".The former requires us to pursue the lofty spirit in teaching and academic research,either of moral or of knowledge;while the latter urges all teachers and students to have the scientific exploration spirit and to be qualified as citizens.In addition,they should have the strategic thinking,world-wide sight and the willing to bear responsibilities.And universities should actively serve our society,transform knowledge into the productive force,and contribute to the progress of our education.The two are mutually dependent,pursuing prominence and stop at nothing imperfect.
