Features: The issue of human-centeredness has become one of the most highly focused topics in contemporary theory and real-life. This book is grounded in an understanding of the spirit of the times, offering a profound analysis and critique of the current shortcomings in moral education—specifically the phenomenon of a "humanistic void" in moral education—through perspectives such as realistic examination, historical reflection, and philosophical introspection. It further advocates for the concept and practical model of human-centered moral education, calling for the existing moral education system to shift toward a human-centered approach. The book proposes that modern moral education should be guided by Marxist humanistic thought, meaning that modern moral education should take "the real person" as its starting point and aim for the "comprehensive and free" development of individuals. It emphasizes that the principle of "human-centeredness" should be upheld throughout the process, ensuring that modern moral education aligns with the main melody of contemporary development in terms of its character and significance.
From a philosophical perspective, the book explores the philosophical foundation, theoretical support, and practical basis for constructing a human-centered theory of modern moral education. It examines the theoretical characteristics of this theory from the perspectives of the fundamental elements of morality and the core issues of moral education, and elaborates on the principles, curriculum, and teaching methods of human-centered moral education. It also envisions the ideal landscape of both the theory and practice of human-centered moral education. This book represents a valuable attempt to construct a human-centered theory of modern moral education.
