The Humanistic Nature Of Moral Education

Moral education is an important part of human being's education with a long history. Its essence lies in passing on to the individuals the world of meanings which manifests the human nature of liberty, aiming at transforming man as existence (man in abstract) to man of real freedom. It produces a cultural life to individuals, who then transcend the finite being and become existence of infinity and permanence. Moral education acts to bequeath the essential qualities as a human being and it's also the only way for an individual to become a real man.According to this theme, the article, guided with"person—ethic–humanity—moral education", firstly points out that the humanistic nature of moral education starts at the person with free will, passing on to the individuals the world of meanings (namely ethics) which embodies the human nature of liberty, and humanizing individuals and liberating them by glozing and upgrading the instincts of the individual. The basic prerequisites of moral education are the latent unity of individuals and entity, and their separation in reality; and the mission of moral education is to realize the dialectical return of unity between individual and entity.Secondly, the article analyzes three moral education theories in reality: moral education in psychological vision, economy ontological and ideological moral education theories, pointing out their essential differences from moral education.Thirdly, the theme is posted and displayed again in logical reasoning: the world of meanings—the'law'of the world of meanings—moral-self—the cultural process of moral education, completing the gradual realization of the people's objective world of meanings (virtues philosophy) into practice, coagulating it into the individual's virtue, by which the individual becomes liberty being as spirit. It can be further clarified from this, the world of meanings is a liberty world which is created by people transcending the ontological world, and it's the realization of human being's liberty nature and embodies it. Individual humanization completed by the inheritance of human culture. As the impersonality of human being's subjective emotion, the world of meanings is the systematic expression of people's emotion; it's the wisdom crystal of human community, and is the objective spirit for individuals. So virtue's essence and contents are the transcendent emotion, not the rational reflecting the ontological world. The individual can not achieve it self—sufficiently, and must be acquired through moral education. The goal of moral education is to bring the general rational of ethics into the secondary nature substituting the natural will of individual, that is, to establish the individual's moral-self. By the external humanization and the emphasis on individual's internal culture, moral education realizes the moral-self ultimately. In essence moral education is a cultural process, following the cultural principle and logic. Moral education is the abstract upgrading of human nature, it must be returned to reality to complete the liberty person in deed.Finally, the individual becomes the integrated person by moral education constructing virtue's dominant status, virtue and its being formed the liberty person indeed together.
