“生存”还是“发展”——教育学文本中“To Be”含义的重新解读

The Live to Develop──The Reinterpretation of “To Be” in Educational Literature

《学会生存》是全球教育界颇有影响力的作品，被誉为当代教育思想发展里程碑式的著作。但是将“to be”译为“生存”，笔者不敢苟同。因为纵览全书，该书所描述的是一种人类对存在意义的追寻，是从本体论角度讨论教育的目的和作用，而这并不仅仅是“生存”的问题。本文试图从本体论的角度重新探究“to be”的教育价值。

Learning to Be: The World of Education Today and Tomorrow is a very famous report issued by UNESCO in 1972. In this article the author points out a misinterpretation of the phrase “to be” in educational literature. From the perspectives of philosophy and educational ontology, the author reinterprets the true meaning of “to be” to be “to develop”, i.e. all round development of human being.
