更新公民教育

Renewing Civic Education

本文认为，现在到了恢复美国高等教育丢失的使命的关键时刻。在简要回顾了公民教育三要素——思想、道德和行动后，本文详细描述了公民教育在美国大学的衰落和针对公民教育真空的四种反应，最后提供了若干建议作为把思想、道德和行动等不同角色结合起来的对话框架。

This paper holds the view that it is high time to restore American higher education's lost mission. After a brief account of the components of civic education, i.e. a tripod of intellect, morality, and action, it describes the inadvertent decline of civic education in American colleges and universities, listing the four reactions to civic education vacuum. In the end, it offers a framework for conversation about the intertwined roles of intellect, morality, and action.
