摘要
虽然教育是一种普遍需要,但在传统中学校却是以满足特定需要为目的而形成的。研究型大学是在德国产生的一种学校,它可以很好地服务于特定领域,但社会并不需要大量的研究人员。今天的人们预设,每个人都应当上学,而且越长越好。不幸的是,研究型大学及其学科被当作了标准。整个教育体系就是按照这个标准来建构的。这意味着,教育很少朝向学生和社会的福祉。那样的话,成功意味着研究方面的成功,这种观念创造了个人竞争的环境,却未能给人们带来生态文明,因此,智慧的观念失落了。现在是该建立一种完全不同的教育体系的时候了,其中一部分人可以在高度专业的学科方面进行研究,但在寻求生态文明的转型中,大多数人应当在许多领域成为服务于社会的全面的人。
Although education is a universal need, traditionally schools came into being for the sake ofmeeting certain particular needs. One type of school was the research university developed in Germany. It serveswell in its special capacity. But society does not need a very large number of researchers. Today, it is assumedthat everyone should go to school, and the longer the better. Unfortunately, the research universities have come tobe regarded as normative along with the academic disciplines of which they are composed. The whole educationalsystem has been shaped by this norm. This means that very little education is oriented to the wellbeing ofstudents and society. The idea that success means success in research creates a climate of individualisticcompetition and fails to prepare people for an ecological civilization. The ideal of wisdom has been lost. It is timeto develop a quite different educational system in which a few will be prepared to do research in highlyspecialized disciplines, but most will be helped to become well-rounded human beings prepared to serve societyin many diverse capacities as it seeks to transition to an ecological civilization.
