教育的逻辑起点自然是人类社会的产生。从猿到人的转变是由于生产劳动,猿在劳动中逐渐形成以大脑和手为核心的主体机制。大脑可以思维,手可以操作,这就使人区别于一般动物而变成“高级动物。”有了主体机制才有可能成为具有实践认知能力的主体人,人类才能把自己提升为认识和改造客观世界的主体,从而把客观世界变成人类改造和认识的客体。而要认识和改造客观世界是需要有主体能力才可以的。人类社会是人类在社会实践中创造出来的自身存在形式。
可以说大家只看到眼前的利益,谁也不认真思考一下儿童将来的前途。儿童处于被教育、被学习的状态。这不能不说是教育本身的病症
中国原始社会时期,“燧人之世,天下多水,故教民以渔”,“宓羲氏之世,天下多兽,故教民以猎”,这应该是教育的萌芽。
I have become most aware of my lack of a proper education whenever I have had the chance to put it to the test. The test is a simple one: am I prepared to live in and comprehend a world in which there are 3 billion people? Not the world as it was in 1850 or 1900, for which my education might have been adequate; but the world today.

Geography had instructed me in differences of terrain, resources, and productivity. Comparative culture had instructed me in the differences of background and group interests. Anthropology had instructed me in the differences of facial bone structure, skin pigmentation, and general physical aspect. In short, my education protected me against surprise.
I was not surprised at the fact that some people lived in mud huts and others in bamboo cottages on stilts; or that some used peat for fuel and others dung; or that some enjoyed music with a five-note scale and others with twelve; or that some people were vegetarian by religion and others by preference.
人的一生不可以不学习,而读书是受教育的一个重要途径。接受教育有多种多样的形式,但其教育的根本目的是做人,然后才是做事,这是中国人文经典中最重要的道理。
In those respects my education had been more than adequate. But what my education failed to do was to teach me that the principal significance of such differences was that they were largely without significance.
如今的社会、学校和家庭,最为缺乏的就是人文教育,仿佛这个时代只有经济利益的驱动,使得人在快节奏中无暇顾及读书给人带来人文精神的提升,让人看到的只是金钱和物质的消费,很难领略到人文科学的发展魅力。
