 Learn education 2500 years ago. Confucius School.



Confucius formally established a school only three years before his death.


After spending all his middle life preaching his political philosophy to his princes, he returned to his home country of Noh with his 69-year-old body and taught students with self-consciousness as a 'teacher' for about three years before dying at the age of 73. it was a period


Confucius, who has been wandering for nearly 14 years and has not found a way to realize his political ideals, complains about this in the realm of truth.


Confucius speaks in the kingdom of Qin.


“I have to go back. I have to go back. The young people in our country have high ambitions, but they don’t have the skills.


You have the dazzling silk fabric, but you can't make clothes properly."


[5:21]


It is a determination containing a passion for education to teach young people from the country who have excellent materials but are not able to properly refine them.


​

Confucius speak


"I have taught anyone who can make 'simple greetings' for himself.


[7:7]


Confucius opened the school door wide.


'Whoever wants to learn, come.'


This was the greatest characteristic of the Confucius School.


It means that Confucius was the person who practised democratic equality education 2,500 years ago.


​


No one can learn because it transcends class and race, except for the 'opening' of Confucius, who realized the importance of intelligence to humans. Confucius' fierce guiding spirit to realize the truth is well expressed in the following words.


Let's talk Confucius


"If you realize the truth in the morning, you may die in the evening."


[4:8]


He would have been able to build an open school because of his own search for the truth, his thirst for the intellect that acquired it, and fierce struggle in the process of obtaining it.


​


This wide-open school door was also a door that was quickly closed to those who did not study properly.


The second characteristic of the Confucius school is rigour.


The door is open to those who learn, but strictness that leaves no one who does not want to learn properly.


​


First of all, those who want to learn must be full of enthusiasm.


He pulls the chair tight and sits upright and starts learning with his eyes wide open in the attitude that he will not miss anything the teacher teaches. He said that he would never teach again to a disciple who did not feel sorry for what he had learned.


​


Taking one step further, required not only passion for learning but also wisdom. To compare it to a desk, when the teacher 'raises one corner and shows it', the student 'if they do not notice the other three corners' and 'twice again' He had a strict principle of 'not to repeat'.


In this way, Confucius School was a strict school that required all of its student's passion, affection, and wisdom for learning.


​


The third characteristic of Confucius' school is that the principle of 'if you don't ask a question, you don't get an answer was implemented.


Most of [The Analects] consists of answers obtained by disciples asking questions to their master. In short, only those who can ask questions are disciples, and those who can give answers to questions are teachers.


The problem is that 'question-like questions' are never easily made.


​


The school of Confucius had the following three characteristics.


First, the aspect of an open school.


Second, rigorous training process.


Third, an educational method that gives answers only by asking questions.


​


In addition, the educational philosophy of this school is as follows.


First, liberation or rationality from witchcraft.


Second, strong practicality


Third, strong morality.

Fatigue society, excess of positivity, dialectic of positivity.

 Fatigue society, excess of positivity, dialectic of positivity. ​ ​ ​ Each age has its own disease. For example, there is an era that can be said to be bacterial. But this era came to an end, at least with the invention of antibiotics. The beginning of the 21st century can be defined pathologically as neither bacterial nor viral, but rather neurotic. It is an infarct disease, not a contagious disease, and it is a disease caused by an excess of positivity, not the negativity of the immunological other. Therefore, it is by no means governed by immunological techniques aimed at defeating the negativity of others. ​ The last century was the immunological age. In other words, it was an era in which clear boundaries were drawn between the inside and the outside, friends and enemies, and me and others. The essence of immunological behavior is aggression and defense. There is a certain blindness in the essence of these immunological devices that have taken over the entire society from the...

The Truth of Perspectiveism, Maturana.

 The Truth of Perspectiveism, Maturana. "The observer is the source of all things. Without the observer nothing exists. The observer is the basis of all knowledge. The basis of all claims concerning man himself, the world and the universe. The extinction of the observer is the It will mean an end and annihilation, for there will be no one left to perceive, speak, describe or explain." - <<From Being to Doing>> Maturana ​ Someone is watching something. Marurana says this is a fundamental starting point. The person develops a world of his own as he sees it as an observer. If the other person exists as an observer, then the other person's world exists, and as an observer, the world that that person sees also exists. ​ The philosopher Nietzsche, before Maturana, described this as perspectives. If the term perspectives is difficult to describe, you can borrow the term from Maturana and call it 'observers. ​ ​ Snakes are creatures of a different world from human...

active reading.

 active reading. We know more about the world than we used to, and you may still think that knowledge is essential to understanding something. But knowledge is no longer as essential for understanding as one-sided thinking. You don't have to 'know' everything about something to 'understand' it. Too much information can actually be an obstacle to understanding something. The present age is overflowing with facts that prevent us from understanding the correct appearance of things due to a lot of information. ​ One of the most active projects of some of the best intellectuals today is to unite views from an intellectual standpoint. Through the Internet, television, radio, and magazines, people are provided with well-organized resources, from clever persuasion to carefully curated information and statistics, to make 'decisions' with little effort. But with effective packaging, viewers, listeners, and readers are sometimes unable to make their own decisions. As i...
