高贵谎言中的教育真相

The Educational Truth in Noble Lie

古典教育哲学的模板《理想国》虽为学术界反复解读，但大都认为拉图提出的金、银、铜铁的三类人的划分以及相应的教育，蕴涵着浓厚的专制主义色彩。但这样的解读遗忘了柏拉图是以”高贵谎言”的形式叙说这样的划分和教育的，”谎言”的后后才是教育的”真相”。进而言之，柏拉图只是叙说了一种高贵的教育理想，这样的教育理想在现实中是无法实现的，他也无意去求得实现。倘若将之实现于教育现实，那将会把教育秩序与教育哲学置于危险的境地之中。

The Republic， the model of ancient philosophy of education， is interpreted repeated by academe. Most of the scholars think that Plato’s viewpoint that human can be classified as gold， silver and coppery implicates strong absolutism. However， the interpretation forgets that Plato expressed his viewpoint by noble lie；the truth lies behind the lie. What’s more， Plato only expressed a noble educational ideal which can’t be realized and he had no intention to realize. If the ideal came true， educational order and educational philosophy would be in risk.
