When Socrates meets Confucius

--How to educate students? As is well known, in ancient times, there are two great thinkers and educators.One was Confucius in China, while the other was Socrates in Greece.Both of them had contributed a lot to the world, and many of their thoughts and works are still studied and valued in our modern society, especially their methods of education.Although they hold different opinions on how to educate students, just as we all see yet, “all roads lead to Rome”, they finally managed to help their disciples to find out truth and knowledge.And now if Socrates meets Confucius, will they argue with each other on this question--How to educate students? First let us look into their methods of education.Confucius tended to impart knowledge to his students more directly.For example, he told them “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do it to others”.And as a result, many of his words were recorded by his students and in the end, Analects of Confucius came into being.Besides, Confucius had another profound advocacy.That was “teaching different students in different ways”.However, Socrates advocated enlighten students by asking questions, and students would make comments during the chat all by themselves.Socrates emphasized the students’ reasoning ability and self-awarene.He believed that through this way, students could find the knowledge they had been born with but unaware of.What’s more, Confucius taught people to believe, but Socrates taught people to suspect.Confucius streed respect for your teachers and focus on the pursuit of knowledge while Socrates emphasized the students’ reasoning ability and self-awarene.This is why people regard Socrates wise while Confucius a person of virtue.Except the differences, they also shared same views on study.Both of them set the saying“it is never too old to learn” as their life motto.They thought they did not know everything and remained modest.What they did was helping others to develop themselves.In a word, whichever way they called for, they are making great contributions to the education world.And their influence will last a long time.If they meet, I believe that they will collide out sparks of wisdom and find a better way to teach.
