A Spiritual Philosophical Examination of Vulgar Utilitarianism Education
Utilitarianism ethics takes"the greatest happiness of the greatest number of people"as its basic tenet and expresses the public moral ideal.However,a kind of vulgar utilitarianism,which encourages people to weigh the advantages and disadvantages and pursue their own selfish interests,is increasingly penetrating in-to the school,making the school move towards utilitarianism in the value guidance of quick success and in-stant benefit.Utilitarian education puts the goal of education beyond itself by turning needs into desires,and gives up the value ideal of education in the individualized competition and the pursuit of progress.Education is simplified to mechanical training and learning to repetitive work.The fundamental problem of utilitarianism education is the"spiritual"problem,which makes individual freedom of will impossible by encouraging students'natural desires.Students become spiritual wanderers in an atomized world through the deconstruction of the edu-cational entity.At the same time,in the separation of thinking and will,and in the disconnection of knowledge and action,the spirit becomes a thinking spirit that cannot move towards reality.On the one hand,the spiritual reconstruction of school education needs to recognize the spiritual turn,so as to regard education as an indivi-dual's spiritual process;on the other hand,the method of spiritual reconciliation is needed to realize the inner unity of children's natural desires and free nature,special individuals and universal entities.At the same time,it is also necessary to promote the spiritual return of school education in knowledge,morality,art and other contents,so as to truly make the school a spiritual world in pursuit of truth,goodness and beauty.
