The Explanation On "Communication" Of Today's School Moral Education With The Theory Of Postmodernism

The affection of traditional education becomes weaker and weaker in today's China, while the modern education is on the contrary. These two kinds of moral education are in the relation of antagonisim and inter connection, which this article depends on. Educations have attempted many methods which content the popular theory about communication to solve these problems. But there are many defects in the communication in the background of modernism. Going after the "entirety" and "purity", "communication" looks like a almighty medicine. It contains almighty magical effect, and this effect is rapid and correct always. There are many defects in this view. If we survey and instruct the moral education by it, more new problems may occur while still don't resolve the old problems. The article explains the "communication" of today's school moral education with the theory of postmodernism from a new point of view.This article can be divided into three parts.In part one, it introduces the basic theory of postmodernism. Postmodernism, as a criticism and reflection to modernism, takes basic theories about "de-centralized", "non-rationality" and "uncertainty", and embodies the length and breadth in the cultural field, scattered on the theoretical system and overlap characteristic on historical time. It is very important to the division of "postmodernism life" and "postmodernism thought". It provides us a mirror by which we can think and exam the confusion of moral education in our school. Especially, it's meaningful to analyze the confusion of moral education with the theory of postmodernism which is concerned most.In part two, it criticizes "communication" according to the theory of postmodernism. "Communication" is becoming a hot-talk in the field ofmoral education today, and so are the "subject", "equality", "understanding" and "conversation". To postmodernism, there are some confusion in communication caused by modernism. On the one hand, essentialism which emphasizes the "homogeneous equality" and neglects heterogeneous in substance. Habermas' theory of communication predesigns a universal transcendental language, a harmonious ideal "life world" and a simple myth. Postmodernism criticizes this Utopia in Habermas' communication, and critics the premise of "communication". On the other hand, this article analyses the difficulties in communication of school's moral education today based on the contents and the methods of moral education. And according to "discipline" and "communication", it analyses the action of modernism moral education to negative freedom and positive freedom. At the same time, it criticizes the heuristic "communication" and "conversation".In part three, it tries to go out from postmodernism and have a discussion on the building of communication in moral education. Human are always in pursuit of healthy communication of moral education. During it, based on last stage's Wittgenstein's "family resemblance" and "Lebens-formen", we can distinguish four levels. Affirming over the stability of four levels,we can improve "Lebens-formen", put it into moral practice and exceeds postmodernism finally.
