Tính nhất thể của tri thức, Giáo dục khai phóng, John Henry Newman, Triết học giáo dục, Sự đào tạo trí năngTóm tắt
Bài viết phân tích tư tưởng giáo dục khai phóng của John Henry Newman, đặc biệt nhấn mạnh “tính thống nhất của tri thức” như nền tảng triết học cho giáo dục đại học. Dựa trên siêu hình học của Aristotle về tính thống nhất của hữu thể, tác giả cho rằng tri thức, cũng như thực tại, có sự thống nhất nội tại dù được biểu hiện qua nhiều ngành học khác nhau. Theo Newman, tri thức không chỉ có giá trị công cụ hay thực dụng, mà còn mang giá trị tự thân, góp phần khai mở và đào luyện tâm trí con người. Thông qua hình ảnh “vòng tròn tri thức”, bài viết cho thấy mỗi lĩnh vực học thuật đều có vị trí riêng trong việc tiếp cận chân lý, nhưng cần được liên kết hài hòa với các lĩnh vực khác. Từ đó, giáo dục khai phóng hướng đến việc hình thành trí tuệ toàn diện, tư duy triết học và nhân cách nhân văn.
Abstract
This article examines John Henry Newman’s philosophy of liberal education, with particular emphasis on the “unity of knowledge” as the philosophical foundation of higher education. Drawing on Aristotle’s metaphysics of the unity of being, the author argues that knowledge, like reality itself, possesses an intrinsic unity despite being expressed through diverse academic disciplines. For Newman, knowledge is not merely instrumental or utilitarian; rather, it has value in itself and contributes to the cultivation and enlargement of the human mind. Through the metaphor of the “circle of knowledge,” the article shows that each academic discipline has its own legitimate role in approaching truth, yet it must be harmoniously connected with other fields of knowledge. Thus, liberal education aims to form a comprehensive intellect, philosophical thinking, and a humanistic character.
