When most people think of the word “education”, they think of a pupil as a sort of animate sausage casing. Into this empty casting, the teachers (26) stuff “education.”
But genuine education, as Socrates knew more than two thousand years ago, is not (27) the stuffing of information into a person, but rather eliciting knowledge from him; it is the (28) of what is in the mind.
“The most important part of education,” once wrote William Ernest Hocking, the (29) Harvard philosopher, “is this instruction of a man in what he has inside of him.”
And, as Edith Hamilton has reminded us, Socrates never said, “I know, learn from me。” He said, rather, “Look into your own selves and find the (30) of the truth that God has put into every heart and that only you can kindle (点燃)to a (31) .”
In a dialogue, Socrates takes an ignorant slave boy, without a day of (32) , and proves to the amazed observers that the boy really “knows” geometry一because the principles of geometry are already in his mind, waiting to be called out.
So many of the discussions and (33) about the content of education are useless and inconclusive because they (34) what should “go into” the student rather than with what should be taken out, and how this can best be done.
The college student who once said to me, after a lecture, “I spend so much time studying that I don't have a chance to learn anything,” was clearly expressing his (35) with the sausage casing view of education.
