知為行之始 知行應合一

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart.

楔子：

今日和家長談話之後，更感受到華麗取巧不足取，重要的是身體力行。隨後讀到了人本主義片段，些許感觸，知行合一方足成事，以此自勉。

 

  我們重視人的本質，給予人更多的自尊和自由。但這中間有一個問題，人們通常談論人本主義，人本主義心理學缺少嚴謹的方法論；但它引入許多精彩的理念，像是對於幸福感的研究，對樂觀主義的研究，像是善良、美德、道德、愛、兩性關係，顛峰體驗、自我體驗和移情。這些精采的概念都是學校探討的議題。

  人本主義的認識論並不嚴謹，如何形成理論，如何學習，這在很多方面不完全，且大部分成為自助運動。有趣、有意，重要的理念、意圖當然是好的，但就某種程度上，缺乏學術嚴謹性，所以人本主義在學術上影響很低。

  專業、想像、執行三者結合可以形成多才多藝。但是，光知道是不夠的，必須實作；光意願也是不夠的，必須力行。

 

  We need to value much more the human being. We need to give much more dignity and freedom to the person. There was a problem. The problem was humanistic psychology is said lacked the rigorous methodology. While it brought in many wonderful ideas, talk about the study of well-being, talk about the study optimism, of kindness, of morality, of virtue, of love, of relationship, of peak experiences, of self-actualization, of empathy. All these wonderful concepts that we’ll talk about throughout school.

  Humanistic wasn’t as rigorous about it epistemology, about how we form ideas and how we learn. And that’s why in many ways, largely, not completely but largely more of into self-health movement. Interesting ideas, good ideas, important, certainly good intentions, but to some extent without the academic rigor. And that’s why it lacked the impact on academia.

  Professional, imagination and execution becomes universal. But, Knowing is not enough, we must apply; Willing is not enough, we must do.
