A Theoretical Study Of Confucius's "Education But No Class" Thought

The idea of “Teaching without Class” is an important educational proposition of Confucius.It contains the profound philosophical philosophy of the pre-Qin Confucians.However,to understand its internal theoretical basis,it is necessary to combine the book of Yi Zhuan,The Doctrine of Mean,Mencius and other Confucian classics.Through combing and analyzing the ancient Confucians’ comments on the classic annotation of Chapter 38 of the Analects of Confucius,the basic theory of "Teaching without Class" mainly involves the fundamental issue of the benevolence thought,the human nature theory,and the concept of Destiny of pre-Qin Confucians.Among them,Confucius’ s destiny thought is mainly represented by the inheritance and creative transformation of the idea of ??the Heavenly Wishing of the Western Zhou Dynasty.From the origin,evolution and connotation analysis of the concept of destiny of the Western Zhou Dynasty,the core of the concept of the destiny of the Western Zhou Dynasty lies in giving new features characterized by "De".Although this "De" is an external virtue for the purpose of maintaining the rule of the dynasty,it laid the foundation for the inward movement of the pre-Qin Confucian centered on "cultivation of virtue" and became the source and matrix of the Confucian educational thought.The Confucian theory of the fate of the pre-Qin Confucianism is directly related to its theory of human nature,and its core is the pre-Qin Confucian world view and the basic understanding of the relationship between heaven and man.The evolution of Confucian relationship between the heavens and the humans in the Pre-Qin period was from the Goddess of personality to the canonical destiny;from the lawful destiny to the human body and the human nature;from the human nature to the human heart;from the human heart.The heart is good.So the human nature is good.The theory of the goodness of human nature has become the Confucian mainstream view.On this basis,human beings have achieved the most thorough and universal equality.This equality of humanity has laid the foundation for the Confucian education and proposition of "Teaching without Class."
