Abstract | Abstract The prevailing ideology of education that reduces schooling to training for competition in a global economy needs to be challenged. Alternatives can be drawn from ancient Chinese philosophy. Confucius had a philosophy of education very similar to Plato's on key points. Although it has appeal, it would be difficult to implement and not different enough from current ways of thinking to make the kind of changes needed. Taoism, with its call to lead a simple life in tune with nature, could supply the necessary antidote. In spite of its anti-intellectualism, ideas borrowed from the Taoists could be brought into schools and lead to constructive changes in their social climate, goals, and curriculum. |
