怀特海大学教育思想对我国大学改革的启示

The Implication of Whithead’s Educational Thoughts on University to the University Reform in China

怀特海从他的机体哲学出发阐释了他的大学教育思想，深刻独到，给我国大学改革提供了有益的启示。大学的作用是在知识和追求生命的热情之间架起桥梁，教师要以充满想象力的方式传授知识，要努力避免知识专门化所带来的人类理解力变窄的危险。拥有高素质的教师队伍是组织建设一所大学的全部艺术所在，对教师的评价要体现人类生产精神产品的个性。

Whitehead’s original and profound illumination of the ideal of university education based on his organic philosophy has provided beneficial implication to Chinese university reform. The function of university is to bridge knowledge and the enthusiastic pursuit of life. Teachers should impart knowledge in a way full of imagination. They should avoid the risk of making people’s understanding narrowed due to knowledge professionalization. The art of running a university lies in the high quality of teaching staff， and teacher assessment should embody the characteristic of human spiritual production.
