A Study Of Understanding In Dilthey’s Philosophy Of Education

Dilthey was an important philosopher,psychologist and cultural educator in the19 th century.He lived in a special era where economic prosperity and social turmoil coexisted.It was in this way that Dilthey’s important philosophical thoughts on philosophy of life and spiritual science were born.Starting from reality and value,he attaches great importance to the existence of human spiritual life and emphasizes the inner spiritual connection between man and man,man and life,man and the world.Based on this,Dilthey integrated the principal axis of "experience-express-understanding" into his own philosophical system,providing a theoretical basis and exploration direction for pedagogy.Dilthey abandons traditional pedagogy and emphasizes the pursuit of the meaning of life in one’s own life experience.He understands that the expression of individual life is based on our experience.At the same time,he also emphasizes that the internal relationship is the relationship between whole and part,and pays attention to the educational relationship of equal dialogue.This study mainly adopts the literature research method,taking the understanding of Dilthey as the research object,explores the unique meaning and value in education from the perspectives of Dilthey’s philosophy of life and spiritual science,and then comb out the current situation and existing problems in the development of education,including the concept of education,the purpose of education,the process of education and so on.With its unique humanistic epistemology,it provides a new way for understanding and exploring in the course of education.This study is mainly divided into the following six parts:Part I: Introduction.This part mainly discusses the background of Dilthey’s philosophical thoughts,the purpose,significance,methods and research ideas of this study.Part II: Analyzes the philosophical basis and basis of Dilthey’s understanding,and clarifies what is the essence of Dilthey’s understanding.Dilthey’s era is full of a series of modern diseases,social contradictions intensified,scientism led to the cover of self-knowledge,in order to change such a dilemma,Dilthey proposed to understand in the spiritual life.Part III: Explains how Dilthey’s understanding is connected with human beings,the living world and the historical and cultural world.In Dilthey’s opinion,all individual life cannot get rid of the constraints of specific social background and living environment.To understand a complete life,it is necessary to understand the existence and development of human beings in the cultural world created by human beings themselves.Part IV: Analyze the role and function of Dilthey’s understanding in his educational philosophy.Dilthey integrated understanding into the teaching process because education itself has comprehensiveness,and education is carried out in the world of life.Only by taking root in people’s life experiences,enabling individuals to understand their relationship with the world,and understand the spiritual value,can students’ lives be free from the constraints of material interests,and thus achieve their spiritual value.Part V: Analyze the position and significance of Dilthey’s understanding in his philosophical thoughts,and at the same time to analyze Dilthey’s understanding of the existing predicament,the understanding of Dilthey’s philosophy of education in general reflection and analysis.Part VI: Exploring the contemporary educational value understood in Dilthey’s educational philosophy.Based on the experience and expression of the living world,Dilthey’s understanding focuses on the value and significance of individual life,puts students in the position of subjectivity,stimulates the autonomy of students,and constructs a new dialogue relationship between teachers and students of "I-you",which has great inspirations for the current education reform.
