A Study on Deng Xiaoping's Educational Philosophy in Contemporary China

The paper purposes to illuminate Deng Xiaoping`s educational philosophy(DXEP, henceforth) in contemporary communist China. The categories of DXEP would be defined by pragmatistic educational ontological philosophy and axiology. The brief backgrounds of these categories were added in front of the explanations of the elements that would compose DXEP. The level of DXEP backgrounds represent that Dewey's pragmatistic educational thought, Ricouer's “Hermenuetics” interpretation of the contextual relation between ideology and educational thought, and the traditional Confucian educational philosophy had influenced DXEP. The level of pragmatistic ontology shows that under the Marxian educational philosophy DXEP could operate the pragmatistic educational policies. The level of axiology explained that the values of ideology were added in the DXEP. The two concepts represented these ideological and educational relation contexts, instrument and the anti-capitalism between DXEP educational theories and practices. The each stage of Chinese revolutions had influenced the DXEP for lasting and stability of the communist regime. In conclusion, I suggest, the DXEP would be the core ideas and operations of education only inferior to Mao Zedong's educational thought in the contemporary China.
