难道高等教育能够走出“适应论”?——兼与冯向东教授商榷

Can Higher Education Get Rid of “Adaptation Theory”？ A Discussion with Professor Feng Xiangdong

Theoretical debates between “Adaptation Theory” and “Cognitive Rationality” are more like a clear stream which may light up the boring research on the theories of higher education. Scholars should give an overall and systematic judgment on one point of view based on its own internal factors including the contents， perspectives and logic instead of those external factors such as its forming time and social background. Also， only on the basis of uniformity and comprehensiveness of concept and by following the purely rational principles and rules， could the academic debates and communication make sense. As is known to all， history is always multi -faceted and dialectical. Therefore， any over-emphasis on one kind of philosophy is unscientific. We should not deny the uAdaption Theoryand hinder the manifestation of the contemporary value of “Cognitive Rationality”. Meanwhile， we cannot deny that “Adaption Theory” has a long and stable history. It is not the product of China's planned economy and Chinese characteristics because of its wide-scale application.
