Liberal arts postgraduates' knowledge view is the core of understanding the universal truth and the key to form the world of ideas for the liberal arts postgraduates as well as make a difference on the self-developments and academic growth.However,in the educational practice,the knowledge view of the liberal arts postgraduate students has been alienated gradually.The students who is pursuing the lofty spirits has deviated from the original purposes and values of their own knowledge,and blurred the boundaries of their own knowledge view.As a result,the graduate students of liberal arts have prejudiced and misunderstood their concept of knowledge,ignore the existence meaning of knowledge view with "rationality" as its core,or misconstrue the eternal value of "useless knowledge".Humanistic education is regarded as a human activity,focusing on scholars and students for the rational recognition of ancient and authoritative knowledge so as to improve the generation of human nature and enhance the realm of life.At present,it's more and more emphasis on the return of higher humanistic education,which is different from natural science education,of which eternal results lead students to pursue the certainty knowledge,however the humanities world is complicated and changeable to create more possibilities and uncertainties for the liberal arts graduate students' knowledge.Although the humanities are full of unknowns and uncertainties,the unknowns have deepened the understanding of the constant nature of knowledge.Besides,humanities and social science as a core discipline of humanities education,is a world of integrated knowledge and wisdom,which can sustain students' rationality and enthusiasm.Only in the guidance of knowledge and wisdom can students pursue the profound,eternal and tacit knowledge in order to achieve self-development,which is the proper meaning of liberal arts postgraduates ' knowledge view.In a word,the true humanistic education and the value orientation of the humanities and social disciplines need the proper knowledge view of the liberal arts graduate students.In conclusion,both the phenomenon and negative effects of alienation of liberal arts in educational practice and the value standpoint of higher humanities lead us to pay close attention to the postgraduates ' knowledge view alienation problem and the reversion of it.This research can be divided into four parts including to explaining the core concept,analyzing of the problems,exploring the causes of the problems and putting forward measures.The first part is to explain the true meaning of the knowledge view of the graduate students of liberal arts.The formation of knowledge view should be based on the knowledge of the humanities and social sciences.Conversely.The knowledge view is of great significance for the students to learn,acquire and internalize knowledge.Firstly,the essence of the humanities and social sciences is explained,and making a distinction in attributes of discipline and knowledge view between nature science and humanities and social science to illustrate the feasibility and necessity of exploring the knowledge view of the graduate students of liberal arts.And then the study should analysis systematically the three aspects,view of knowledge essence,view of acquisition and values and find out that the true meaning of view of students' knowledge can be explained combined the humanities and social sciences' constant attributes and the knowledge attributes,which students should pursue the truth,uphold the perpetual knowledge view and emphasize the rational reading and real conversation.The second part is a realistic representation of the phenomenon of knowledge alienation in the post graduate students of liberal arts.A questionnaire and interview outline is designed by the three dimensions of knowledge essence view,acquisition view and values.The research is indicted that the students view has the characteristics of superficiality,low-quality and instrumental reason.We can sum up the realistic representation of the knowledge alienation of the postgraduates of liberal arts from two aspects of explicit and implicit degree.Firstly,the alienation of knowledge of liberal arts postgraduates is directly manifested in the superficial knowledge,fragmentation of the knowledge and utilitarian knowledge.Secondly,it can be expressed indirectly in the over-interpretation of classical knowledge and excessive demands of conversation.The third part explores the reasons of alienation of the students' view,which includes three aspects like thinking changes,social environments and educational evaluation rules.At first,the alienation is the inducement of the postmodernist concept of knowledge that endows the students with fresh thinking,empty ideas and false actions,the result of the spread of fragmentation of knowledge that brings out low-quality knowledge as well as caused by the educational evaluation system of utilitarianism.The last part is to put forward the solution to the alienation of knowledge view.Publicizing the value of rationalist knowledge,creating a real learning environment and optimizing the evaluation rules of the graduate students of liberal arts.
