价值的颠覆——论通识教育的超越意识及其困境

通识教育自引入我国以来越来越受到重视，通识教育推动者呼唤人文精神的挺立以扼制市场化、功利化、世俗化对高等教育的道德冲击，其终极目标是要建立人之为人的生命根基。然而在后现代主义者看来，这种终极价值的先行确立并不具有绝对合法基础，秉持此种观点无疑又回到了传统哲学的独断立场。在后现代性条件下，对于生命价值的终极追问只具有私人性并不具有强制性。因此，我们应以何种态度来对待通识教育,这就需要以一种哲学的方式进行反思。

Subversion of Value: On Liberal Education's Being Beyond the Awareness and Its Plight

Since the introduction of liberal education, it has been paid more and more attention. Humanistic liberal promoters stand to curb the spirit of market-oriented, utilitarian, secular moral impact on higher education, with the ultimate goal to build the foundation of the life of man as man. However, in the post-modernist view, it does not have an absolute legal basis to first establish the ultimate value, for adhering to this view no doubt returns to the arbitrary position of traditional philosophy. In the post-modern conditions, asking for the ultimate value of life is only of a private nature, not a mandatory nature. Therefore, in what manner we should treat liberal education needs a philosophical reflection on the way.
