The Frugal Life and Why We Should Educate for It
-
摘要: 本文从虚构的主人公西尔维娅的生命微叙事出发,在对她不同时期因不同原因、以不同方式所过的节俭生活进行哲学分析的基础上,阐述选择节俭生活方式的内在和外在理由,讨论节俭教育的有关哲学和教育主张,论证教育培养节俭美德的必要性。同时,对基于公正原则而提出的节俭教育观加以矫正,并提出教育培养节俭美德对应对威胁人类生存和地球可持续性的气候危机具有更深远的意义。Abstract: Sylvia's life narrative shows that frugality may arise from the will and habit of simple living, or from the quality of conscious virtue. Frugality as a virtue not only contributes intrinsically to people's well-being, but also helps the humankind as a whole to alleviate crises such as the depletion of the earth's resources. There are both intrinsic and extrinsic reasons for cultivating the virtue of frugality. Education in the virtue of frugality can be achieved through close cooperation between society, the family and the school. Frugality education in accordance with "the childhood goods" not only helps children to lead a rich, healthy, fulfilling and positive life, helps them to develop daily virtues of self-restraint and belief in life, and to develop a sound character, it also helps them to pursue social justice and eventually preserve the prosperity of the earth.
