项目摘要

The purpose of this study is to construct a public theory of education as an integration of Dewey's theory of education and his theory of public and moral inquiry and to propose a new theory of "transformative self" based on reflective intelligence and cross-categorical thinking.In the first year, I examined the social, moral and legal views inherent in Dewey's theory of "intelligent pacifism," which proposed to solve social and moral conflicts caused by America's participation in World War I. I also clarified his theory of "embodied intelligence," in which the cooperation between reflection and making (poiesis) functions to construct a foundation of moral growth.In the second year, firstly, I studied the relationship between Dewey's philosophy of education and his political theory, which share the idea of democracy as a common element. I suggest that communicative inquiry plays an important role to connect between personal intelligence and public aspect of intelligence or public opinion. Secondly, R.Kegan's theory of "evolving self" was examined as an extension of Dewey's theory of experiential self, in which the imaginative process of cross-categorical knowing makes possible the development of what he calls "interindividual self."In the third year, I reexamined the dilemma inhering in Dewey's method of conflict-solving, which he proposed during World War II. I stress that his theory of "practical idealism" during the War failed to suggest a viable method to avoid war as a means to construct a peaceful relationship among nations. Finally, I examined the role of imaginative intelligence, which functions as a vehicle to connect other person's experience and to learn from different cultures. Cross-categorical knowing and border-crossing involved in imaginative intelligence should be a solid foundation for our moral growth.

本研究的目的是构建一种公共教育理论，将杜威的教育理论与其公共和道德探究理论相结合，并提出一种基于反思性智能和跨范畴思维的新的“变革性自我”理论。第一年，我考察了杜威“智慧和平主义”理论所固有的社会、道德和法律观点，该理论提出解决美国参加第一次世界大战引起的社会和道德冲突。我还澄清了他的理论第二年，我首先研究了杜威的教育哲学和他的政治理论之间的关系。民主观念是一个共同的要素。我认为交际探究在连接个人情报和公共情报或舆论方面发挥着重要作用。其次，R.Kegan的“进化自我”理论被视为杜威经验自我理论的延伸，其中跨范畴认知的想象过程使得他所谓的“个体间自我”的发展成为可能。在本书中，我重新审视了杜威在二战期间提出的解决冲突方法中所固有的困境。我强调，他在战争期间的“实用理想主义”理论未能提出一种可行的方法来避免战争，以此作为构建国家间和平关系的手段。最后，我研究了想象力智力的作用，它是连接他人经验和学习不同文化的工具。想象力智力的跨类别认知和跨越边界应该成为我们道德成长的坚实基础。
