“无知”的知识观及其在教育方面的启示

产生“无知”有四种基本原因 :即人类的无知伴随着人类对自然社会的认识深化而日益扩大 ;个体的无知伴随着社会知识的膨胀而日益增长 ;人类知识具有显著的不确定性 (又称可错性 )特征 ;社会中存在着许多人类尚未关注总结的形形色色的时空方面的知识。无知的知识观对于知识学习具有如下几点启示 :即进行学习时应当时刻秉持批判意识来看待所学知识 ;在理论联系实际的过程中努力了解和掌握“时空方面的知识” ;以弹性和开放的态度进行学术交流 ;学习和掌握各种基本进行科学验证的标准和方法 ,以辨别所学知识的真伪、确定性程度和判断知识进步的大小。

Cognitive Concept of Ignorance and Its Inspiration for Education

This article discusses the cognitive concept of man's "ignorance" and the four basic reasons: man's deepening cognition about natural world, more and more profound knowledge about human society, the indefinite feature of human knowledge processing and the variety of unfixed definition about time and space. Moreover, the article further discusses its inspiration for one's learning and the necessity of open-mindedness, persistent efforts to acquire as much knowledge and the scientific methods to distinguish true from false.
