On Practice-oriented Educational Philosophy

Based on the Marxist practice view and TAO Xing-zhi’s exploration on the educational theories concerning doing, this paper has made a reflection on the innovation of Chinese society and educational practice and put forward the new educational philosophy which is characterized by the striking time spirit. According to practical educational philosophy, practice is not only the factual feature of education, but the primary requirement for a man’s education and development. Without practice, there would be no real education, and man and society would be in a state of alienation. Under such philosophy, the knowledge teaching is in pursuit of the unification between training purpose and means, perceptual activity and rational understanding, and scientific truth and productive labor. Such unification is aimed at the integration among the rational self verification of educational practice, the infinite perfection of humanity and creation of educational value. With such unification, people can reach the supreme state of all-in-one aesthetic personality.
