The dilemma and transcendence of moral education in the contemporary era
The essence of moral education is to cultivate morality,and its aim is to promote the development of human beings.Since people created morality,morality couldn't be divided from human any more.Only based on the standpoint of human being instead of morality,could we understand functions and reasons for the existence of moral education,which is the scientific teleology of moral education.On one hand,moral education should avoid abstract understanding and surmise of human,others it will lead to romanticism of moral education;on the other hand,it should avoid pure positivism and objectivism that would separate human mechanically and disintegrate human rigidly,or it will result to nihilism of moral education.Then moral education should return to the sustainable world of promoting the development of human beings on the basis of practice,and give proper interpretation and sympathetic understanding to the real moral life so as to enable one's formation of meaningful sense,realizing the active concentration on the real,complete and experienced human.
