| As a great philosopher in the history of western thought,Plato’s valuable thoughts are worth exploring and learning from us from all aspects.He is the first thinker in the history of western education to put forward the systematic education theory.His Republic,which can be said to be a "treasure house of wisdom".It contains politics,philosophy and other thoughts,and is also an important educational work.He attached great importance to virtue,and also attached great importance to the moral education of city-state citizens and put it into practice.In his educational thought of the Republic,civic moral education occupies an important position.In today’s social situation,its moral education thought is still flashing the rational light,which has an important enlightenment to our civic moral construction in the new era,which is worthy of our in-depth study.The moral education thought in the Republic came from the environment of war and moral decline in the ancient Greek city-states.The social reality at that time made Plato realize the plan of "saving the country through education".In the formulation of moral education programs,he was influenced by the mode of military education in Sparta and the traditional Athenian education.Plato studied under Socrates,also influenced by Socrates and others "virtue is knowledge","virtue can be taught","midwifery"."Three points of soul" and the "four main virtues of soul","imitation theory" and "soul turn theory" are the theoretical basis of his moral education in the Republic.In Plato,goodness is at the top of the pyramid of ideas,integrating and connecting all ideas,which is the ultimate goal of building the internal motivation of the whole concept world.The purpose of Plato’s moral education is to pursue the concept of goodness by promoting the city-state citizens to get the personal "goodness" and pursue the justice of the city-state.In order to better carry out moral education,and realize the purpose of moral education,he emphasized that moral education should follow the principle of the principle of "step by step","heuristic education" and "pursuit of truth","foundation","primary moral education","senior moral education" and "practice of moral education",and "justice","wisdom","courage","control" into the specific moral education stage,to cultivate ideal citizens with perfect body and soul for the city.The moral education thought in the Republic made a very important contribution to the political theory and educational practice of ancient Greece at that time,and drew a strong mark in the history of ancient Greek thought.Since Plato is separated from now more than two thousand years ago,the Republic has a history of one thousand years.At present,the moral education thought also has the limitations of ignoring the independent significance of moral education,does not conform to the principles of modern educational fairness,and ignoring family moral education.However,the principles,methods and stages of moral education proposed by him also give us an important enlightenment to the socialist moral construction today.In today’s moral education,we need to start from the law of physical and mental development of the educated,follow the gradual nature of moral education,and pay attention to heuristic moral education in education and teaching.At the same time,the whole society should create a moral environment of "true,good and beautiful" moral education.In the content of moral education,we should pay attention to the education of socialist core values,and train the builders and successors in the new socialist era. |
