教育不是灌输,而是点燃火焰。
但这句是有争议的:
Education is not the filling of a vessel, but the kinding of a flame
网络翻译:教育不是灌输,而是点燃火焰。一般误认为这句话是苏格拉底(Socrates)说的,实际上,是罗马帝国时代的希腊作家、哲学家、历史学家普鲁塔克(Plutarch)说的。
他的原话是: “The understanding is not a vessel which must be filled, but firewood, which needs to be kindled; and love of learning and love of truth are what should kindle it.”
Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. —Plutarch
类似还有一句,是爱尔兰诗人、剧作家和散文家威廉·巴特勒·叶芝(William Butler Yeats)说的:
“Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.”
The Mind Is Not a Vessel That Needs Filling, But Wood That Needs Igniting
