University Knowledge Production from the Perspective of Sustainable Development—A Dialogue with Pierre Caye,Research Director of CNRS
At present,governments and colleges and universities are actively pushing forward the reform of higher education to meet the requirements of sustainable development.Based on the analysis of the close connection between the current world production system and the knowledge system,the article proposes that higher education reform should start from various aspects.Sustainable development requires people to expand their understanding of technology,not only from the perspective of material production,but also from the perspective of improving the relationship between human beings and time and space;it also requires people to pay attention to the application of knowledge to maintain the inheritance of civilization and to promote the interweaving of knowledge across different eras.The core of STEM teaching and research is to view the role of STEM knowledge from the perspective of society as a whole and to emphasize the combination of high and low,new and old technological paradigms.Humanities,on the other hand,should avoid being too influenced by Western-centered ideologies and move towards an integrated and erudite discipline of humanities knowledge,serving to enrich understanding of the relationship between human beings and time and space.Cross-disciplinary researches are appropriate to be centered on research,be at the forefront of disciplinary knowledge,with philosophy encouraging and facilitating the friction of knowledge from different disciplines to produce new sparks.The lesson learned from the reform of French higher education is that collaboration rather than competition among universities should be encouraged.Sino-French educational and cultural exchanges should avoid Western-centric bias,bring together multiple parties to try to establish an international institute for sustainable development to promote in-depth cooperation.
