Resolving the Collective-Individual Conflicts in Values Education
Collective-individual conflicts are a major problem we would encounter in values education and in practicing the core so-cialist values as well.From a formal logic perspective,these conflicts can be explained in five logic laws:1)the law of consistency in values system;2)the law of free choice of values;3)the law of consistency in collective values system;4)the law of consis-tency in changes in values system;and 5)the law of limited impacts of values education.Some of the above-mentioned laws are compatible with each other,while others are mutually exclusive.Through a formal logic perspective,we can gain a better under-standing of the collective-individual conflicts in values education and hopefully,find ways to resolve them.
