Dr.Cobb sharply criticized the tendencies of discipline worship,value neutrality,economism,competitive education,and detached education with land in modern education,especially in higher education,and deeply analyzed the roots of modern education in modern Western entity philosophy,which essentially serves capitalism and Western modern industrial civilization.The construction of eco-logical civilization requires the ecological transformation of modern education;Cobb's view of ecolog-ical civilization education is rooted in the postmodern organic philosophy of the Whiteheadian,advo-cating for reflection,fasibility,education that loves land,transcending disciplinary compartmentalization,wisdom orientation,and harmonious education,aiming to cultivate capable,intelligent,idealistic,and compassion individuals to serve the construction of ecological civilization.Cobb holds great expecta-tions for China's ecological education and hopes China to lead the world in ecological education and ecological civilization construction.
