從華德福教育談靈性與科學

Spirituality and Science in Waldorf Education

本研究探討華德福教育所依據的人智學，強調靈性的科學觀，並啟發新科學典範與靈性導向教育的可能性。人智學呼應了當代科學的發展狀態及其限制，審視理知心的發展如何導致現代人類的進步與危機，而基於靈性繼續發展出意識心才是出路。基於主客合一的新實證觀點，認為靈性經驗是可以實修實證的，從主客對立的覺察，進入到主客相融的理解，是另一種認識的途徑，也導致新科學典範的出現。本研究最終提出人智學所建議的靈性科學以及在教育上的應用，是處理當前人類危機的重要出路，也是未來科學與教育繼續發展的新方向。

This study introduces the basics of Anthroposophy, the human development theory that serves as the foundation of the Waldorf Education System. The study presents the complete picture of a human being in three levels: the body, the soul, and the spirit. Quantum physics has proven that the presence of an observer affects the outcome of an experiment, and thus implies the influence of human consciousness. Anthroposophy suggests a new paradigm of science which integrates both subjectivity as well as objectivity. In other words, the path of spiritual development of a human being moves across various stages, from the intellectual to the conscious. The study concludes that the future of science and education will be based on the new paradigm.
