Romance, Precision and Generalization - Unthinking the Rhythm of Education in Whitehead’s Process Philosophy of Education
Abstract
Philosophy”, and constructs a comprehensive Organic Philosophy, which is diff erent from traditional metaphysics and tries to reconcile the
binary opposition between mechanism and teleology in psychology. At the same time, based on the Organic Philosophy and his achievements
in the educational philosophy field, Whitehead puts forward his teaching ideology—Rhythm of Education. It claims that education is
rhythmic and changeable, which has three stages: the stage of romance, to inspire romantic mood; the stage of precision, to get an accurate
and correct understanding of details; the stage of generalization, to systematically grasp the general cognition of the gist. However, problems
also emerge since it only explains the rhyme of education from a single dimension, which determines some universal laws concluded are
also single and irreconcilable.
