Description

With the second dimension, I argue that a close examination of Confucian thought on Yue Jiao will contribute to the reflection on the nature and role of education in today's world. For how we educate a student to develop her personhood as a whole in a modern world of fragmentation and over specialization is the most critical question that educational philosophers must address. For this purpose, this project will discuss how ancient Chinese aesthetic traditions may bring new ways for us to understand contemporary educational problems and work on solutions, in ways that bear some relation to Western aesthetic traditions but also diverge in significant ways.
