소세키와 아쿠타가와의 텍스트에 나타난 근대교육 비판

Abstract

This paper is a study of the educational criticism of Soseki and Akutagawa. I noted that the criticism of education was the same, despite the difference of a generation Soseki is first-generation Meiji writer, has strong elements of criticism of civilization. He harshly criticizes pragmatism education under the modern school system in the “Bochang” and “Guken Susoku” In particular, he was criticizing that the goal of education was a tool for advancement rather than personality. In the case of Akutagawa, who was born a generation later, he recalls and criticizes his school life on a personal level, unlike Soseki. It can be seen that education in most schools in the Meiji era was superficial. Sensitive students were very dissatisfied with school education, especially seeing them expressing distrust and disgust at the dull teacher who could not communicate with the students. The two people’s complaints are the same because the Meiji government’s goal is to foster talent for the nation, which is pragmatism. The ideology of school education in the Meiji era was utilitarian education. This led to a rise and fall through school education to become a bureaucrat. Therefore, it considered that the educational site was described in an unorthodox way.
