This book offers a diverse exploration of Chinese educational philosophy, moving beyond Confucianism to encompass a variety of perspectives and issues.
This insightful work challenges the common perception that confines Chinese philosophy primarily to Confucianism, presenting instead a rich and varied perspective on the philosophy of education in China. The contributors delve into numerous themes, such as the modernization and Westernization of Chinese education from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, shedding light on the evolution of educational practices and ideologies during this transformative period.
In addition to historical contexts, the book examines contemporary issues like Chinese identity and race within the realms of education and history. It also offers fresh interpretations of Confucian pedagogy, linking these traditional teachings to the skills required in the twenty-first century. Personal narratives, such as the life story of a modern teacher embodying Confucian values, provide a human element that enriches the discussion.
Moreover, the work explores the ecological self in education, presenting a novel interpretation of postmodern-Daoist symbolism. It emphasizes the crucial role of translation in the creation and dissemination of knowledge across different cultures and languages. Overall, A Kaleidoscopic View of Chinese Philosophy of Education serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding the multifaceted nature of Chinese educational thought, moving beyond simplistic associations with Confucianism.
