Moving Toward Practical Reason Moral Education

Rationality and irrationality, two forms of human practical and realization activities, can be dividedinto three factors: irrationality、theoretical reason、and practical reason, because theoretical reason andpractical reason become two part of rationality by Kant. As the same time when theoretical reason、irrationality and practical reason entered upon the modernization of moral education, knowledge moraleducation、 life moral education、and practical reason moral education were born quietly and smoothly.Knowledge moral education that corresponds to the theory of theoretical rational understanding of events isbased on the moral knowledge. Life moral education that corresponds to the theory of irrationality is basedon the life experience. Practical reason moral education that is base on both irrational life experience andtheoretical reason focus on cultivation of moral will. On this basis, the tendency of practical reason moraleducation will make a breakthrough of modern moral education on the cultivation of moral practice ability,and bestow moral education in era of meaning and spiritual connotation.In this study, by using literature, historical research, comparative study, investigation and analysis andother research methods, not only focus on both the theory and practice which are two aspects of the keyconcepts in the philosophical theory of practical rationality study, but also conduct a detailed practicalInvestigation and analysis to make conclusions become more scientific and standardized.This thesis is consisted of four parts:PartⅠ: From the historical development of rationality, expounds the philosophy of practical reasonmoral education, and the principles of practical reason moral education.Part Ⅱ:On the basis of critique of knowledge moral education, the study comes up with theoriesabout the necessity and significance of the transformation of life moral education. Furthermore, byexamining the relationship between life and moral education、content and implementation of life moral, thedisadvantages and faultiness of life moral are discovered.Part Ⅲ: By proposing the concept of practical reason moral education, specifically examines theevolution of the concept of practical reason and Kant, Hegel, Marx from the level of philosophical rationality into the practice of historical background. Practical reason moral education proposes on the basisof the core part-the cultivation of moral will which include moral motivation and moral judgment, in orderto construct an internal system of practical reason and subjective moral law.
