초록

This article seeks to tease out two disparate models of pedagogy in the neo-Confucian tradition. To that end, I focus on the two founding figures of this tradition, namely, Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming, and see how they articulated their ideas on childhood education, which were based upon their conflicting views on children and their innate moral abilities. From Zhu’s point of view, children have incomplete moral capabilities, as they are unable to distinguish between right and wrong, that is, they lack moral awareness and lack the moral will to put any knowledge they do possess in this regard into action. On the contrary, Wang viewed children as being innately endowed with both these faculties, making them legitimate moral actors in their own right. Based upon these diverging stances, their views on child education tend to differ. Zhu argued that the aim of education is to help children develop moral abilities via repeated learning and practice; thus, I will refer to his views as the inculcation model. Whereas Wang held that early education should help children actualize their innate moral faculties; hence, I will call his stance the actualization model.

Abstract

This article seeks to tease out two disparate models of pedagogy in the neo-Confucian tradition. To that end, I focus on the two founding figures of this tradition, namely, Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming, and see how they articulated their ideas on childhood education, which were based upon their conflicting views on children and their innate moral abilities. From Zhu’s point of view, children have incomplete moral capabilities, as they are unable to distinguish between right and wrong, that is, they lack moral awareness and lack the moral will to put any knowledge they do possess in this regard into action. On the contrary, Wang viewed children as being innately endowed with both these faculties, making them legitimate moral actors in their own right. Based upon these diverging stances, their views on child education tend to differ. Zhu argued that the aim of education is to help children develop moral abilities via repeated learning and practice; thus, I will refer to his views as the inculcation model. Whereas Wang held that early education should help children actualize their innate moral faculties; hence, I will call his stance the actualization model.
