通才教育要寻求合理定位─与张汝伦教授商榷

A Right Role for General Education to Play─”Discussion with Professor Zhang Ru-lun”

我们正处在高等教育大众化的阶段，科学技术正高速迅猛发展，我们必须站在这个基点上去寻找通才教育的合理定位和可操作性。通才教育的理念应是造就学生的一种气质，一种洞察事物的深度和独立思考能力。只有当通才教育可能落到实处的时候，才可能被教育界所接受。

In recent years， we are on the way to an age of mass education. Simultaneously， science and technology develop very rapidly. Under such situation， it is very important to reconsider what the general education should be and how it should be conducted. We think the function of general education is to cultivate the students to have a spiritual temperament， a deep insight， and an ability of independent thinking. The idea of general education would be widely accepted only when its practical significance is expounded.
