论教育自由与人才培养的关系

本文横向解剖了以美国哈佛大学为例的自由教育，纵向分析了教育史上的几个重要时期，同时探讨了人的自由本性；通过对教育自由与人才培养之间关系问题的多角度分析，首次提出了教育的自组织理论。该理论认为：只有独立的、自由的、开放的教育才能够充分发挥其自组织功能，才能够培养出原创性人才；中国的教育要想能够培养出创造性人才，必须改变对人的生命和人的教育以及政治理性与教育理性关系的基本理念。

A Study on the Relationship between Educational Freedom and Talent Fostering

This paper takes America＇s Harvard University as an example for a study on liberal education, while examining several important periods in the history of education to explore the human nature of liberty. Through a multi-perspective analysis of the relationship between educational freedom and talent fostering, the author first brings forward the self-organization theory of education, which holds that it is via an independent and liberal education that a person fully exerts his or her function of self-organization and cultivates creativity and originality. Only by transforming the basic concepts on life, education, political reason and educational reason can the education in China foster creative and original minds.
