量化评价、知识生产与理性大学的追寻———兼评《大学理性研究》

Rational Questioning of University Evaluation and Essence of Universities ： A Review of “Rational Research on Universities”

无论是实践上还是理论认识上，高等教育都面临着“理性偏见”的挑战，尽管形式多样但实质都是用大学理性的部分代替了整体。大学评价实践中的量化主义倾向，理论上把认知理性提升为高等教育的本质，不符合完整的大学理性和中庸之道。理性是拯救大学的重要出路，大学的定位、发展与评价都必须坚守大学理性精神，而不是拘泥于一种理性形式。

Higher education is faced with the challenge of “rational bias” both practically and theoretically .In spite of the various forms the bias may assume，its essence is that part of the “university rationality” has replaced the whole. Neither the quantitative trend of university evaluation nor the promotion of “cognitive rationality” as the essence of higher education conforms to the true university rationality or the golden mean. Positioning，development and evaluation of universities should adhere to university rationality，but not stick to a specific form of rationality.
