Research On Humanistic Morality Education

As is well known, the current era of moral education is facing with the challengeof age and the confusion of reality. The disadvantage of traditional moral educationstill plays a role in reality, science principle, authoritarianism, utilitarianism, toolprinciple, and knowledge ethical education in the form of dissimilation are still exist.The common characteristics of these forms of moral education is, not from the humanitself and its demands, do not take human as subjects, but treat them as some kind oftool for discipline and binding, which stresses domesticating of the morality andunconditional, mechanical obedience. We called this kind of moral education is"nobody" moral education. At present, "nobody" moral education still widely exists, ithas already violated the origin value of moral education, does not conform tohumanism idea which the modern society advocated, neither. It has become theimportant barrier in the reforms and develops of moral education. Therefore, in thissignificant transformation time, we should take the "human" perspective to changemoral education, to establish new moral education theory which conforms to the timedevelopment, and also consistent with the origin value of moral.This thesis asserts that, moral education should adhere to man-based moralphilosophy to establish humanistic morality education theory. On the one hand,human development is the theme of our age, human-orientation is the development oftime requested. On the other hand, concerning moral and human relations, the humanis the original point, the man-based nature is the moral essential characteristic,"humanist is the value ideal of modern major moral education. The moral educationproduced in the improvement of people's demand, the human is the basis andfoundation on which the moral education phenomenon occurs. Therefore, man-basedshould be the natural stipulation of moral education " .Certainly, the moral education should be man-based, this has already been thetopic of ordinary remark. But in sense of the analysis of the material about thehumanistic and moral education, the research of man-based moral education whichhad been, all sought the theory basis from the morals outside, often take psychology,education, philosophy, and other humanism theory or human study theory to themorality to explain question. Such comments have neglected the human studyimplication which moral itself including, and cannot reveal fundamentally the realrelations between human nature and morality. Therefore, this thesis embarks on thesome basic facts, such as moral origins, moral and human relations and so on, todiscuss moral's human nature as well as human's status in morals, so as to providedreliable and powerful support for practicing man-based moral education.This thesis is divided into three parts. The first part is the basis theory ofarguments to man-based moral education. From the process on moral's emerging andfunction, to elaborate the relation between morality and human being, human's statusin moral and moral's significance to human being, points out the man-based nature isthe moral essential characteristic, humanistic education is the moral natural stipulation.The second part, is the criticism of "nobody" moral education. This part has traced"nobody" moral education's performance, the history changed, examined itsphilosophy root, pointed out that the authoritative moral philosophy and the scienceprinciple moral education goal, caused the moral education to be separated from thereal life world and people who live in the real life world, causing "nobody" situationin morality. The third part is theory that constructs of the man-based moral education.At first, defined a series of concepts related the man-based moral education, exploredclearly the meanings of man-based moral education, on the basis of this, carried onthe theoretical assumptions and architecture to the man-based moral education.It should be said that the notion of "human being" and "man-based" is thedifficult and key point in this part. The author attempts to surmount abstract theory ofhuman nature in Western society and inadequate and wrong understanding on humanin Chinese history, and echoed with human are the subject in the universe and moral"in the first part, drawing lessons from Marxism theories, take the people (human) as"historical reality of the subjects", then, scientifically and comprehensively grasp theessential feature of human being. In the part of the theory construction, the authorattempts to construct a moral education theory system conforming with the humannatural disposition, from the aspects such as the goal of moral education, the processof moral education, campus culture, to change former moral education dissimilationaspect which starting from the people themselves, neglected human's need andhuman's development request. In the idea, forms moral values, in the practice, take theway that human to human, carries on "Becomes truly human" as the goal of moraleducation, provides the beneficial models for the moral education reforms anddevelopments.
