A Review of the Studies on Xunzi’s Ritual Education in Contemporary Chinese Philosophy of Education

荀子「禮教」是當代漢語教育哲學的研究主題之一，我們可在相關研究成果中瞥見荀子「禮教」思想的豐富內涵，不過，這些研究成果似乎未能受到足夠的重視。本文旨在透過回顧當代教育哲學領域中對荀子思想的介紹與論述，呈現當前對荀子「禮教」的研究現況，並透過統整目前哲學界、中文學界及漢學界對荀子的研究，提出可能進一步研究的方向。本文認為，若從荀子的「禮」、「心」、「性」之間的理論關係著手，探討荀子的「禮教」思想並予以開展，如此或能對荀子的整體教育思想有不同的理解視野。若再關聯著國內、外當前的荀子研究成果予以闡述，也應能充實並深化當代漢語教育哲學對荀子「禮教」的研究，且豐富整體教育哲學的研究。

The notion of Xunzi’s ritual education has been one of the topics that is being discussed in the field of Chinese philosophy of education. Despite the rich contents of Xunzi’s ritual education could be found in relevant studies, however, it seems that these studies are not receiving the amount of attention that it deserves. Retrospectively, this paper reviews these relevant studies to reflect the characteristics of their introductions and investigations on Xunzi’s ritual education. Prospectively, through referring to several significant works conducted in fields such as philosophy, Chinese studies and Sinology, this paper proposes that by rethinking Xunzi’s ritual education in the light of his discourse on the relations among ritual, mind-heart and human nature, it might provide us with an alternative approach to understand Xunzi’s educational thought. Additionally, connecting findings from existing studies on Xunzi may advance the research on Xunzi’s ritual education in contemporary Chinese philosophy of education.
