맹자의 본성 이론에 기반한 지혜교육 방법론

Abstract

Objectives Based on Mencius’s theory of human nature, this article looks at the theory of human nature he is talk-ing about from the perspective of education for wisdom and explores its educational message.
 Methods his is a method of philosophical inquiry through Ricoeur’s theory of interpretation. This theory is com-posed of four steps by distanciation, explanation, understanding, and appropriation.
 Results To this end, I established a paradigm of foolishness―wisdom and established a theoretical frame with the help by research of Chinese character. As a result, education for wisdom is a series of educational activities that help humans move away from the foolishness they are dealing with and toward wisdom. In addition, the method of education for wisdom to achieve this was qiúfàngxīn and guăyù with the help of cúnxīnyăngxìng and hàor-ánzhīqì. This can be summarized in the paradigm of liángzhī―liángnéng, where competence is the ability to dis-cern wisdom, and capability is the activity that puts that competence into practice.
 Conclusions This world of education for wisdom teaches life skills that cannot be achieved in modern education today to help people live as wise humans. Therefore, our education stands at a time when we need a wisdom to critically look at knowledge-centered education and provide minimal education for wisdom.
