This book explores the central question of how to cultivate a
continued sense of self in the radically changing Chinese society,
a question that is highly related to the current ongoing
educational reform. If education cannot respond to the problem of
students' disconnection from the changing society, learning cannot
truly happen in school and the reform will fail. Zhang suggests a
philosophy of education that highlights the cultivation of
students' unique but inclusive individuality so that students learn
how to nurture their own mind in this profoundly changing society
rather than becoming empty and lost. The discussion of this
proposed question is inspired by the thoughts of the American
pragmatist John Dewey and Chinese Confucian scholar Liang Shuming.
It is not the author's intention to have a pure philosophical
discussion, but rather to refer to their philosophies to help
answer the practical question of cultivating individuality in an
educational setting during this period of China's modern
transition.
