Abstract

Eastern philosophy and Western philosophy are of great value to education management, and they still have a profound impact on education management, education system, teaching methods, education content, education practice, and education reform and so on. We should study and compare the root, theory and effect of the Eastern philosophy and the Western philosophy, absorb them in reference, merge them in optimization and develop them in sublation. In the ideological and political education, we should pay attention to the combination and fully consider the consistency brought by Chinese and Western philosophy. There are deep-seated differences between Chinese and Western education, but there is no right and wrong. China’s education has bred 5000 years of excellent cultural heritage, while Western education has ignited the light of modern science and technology. It’s like a piece of white paper with both sides. With different painting styles, you can draw masterpieces of extraordinary craftsmanship. Only when we understand the differences and know ourselves and the other can we make education always new. On the other hand, even though the huge cultural differences between China and the West result in many differences in education, Chinese and Western education still have similarities. That is, no matter what kind of value standards or education methods, the ultimate goal of education is to guide the learners to self-awareness and self-motivation, master the basic knowledge of the system, form the transferable skills such as creative ability and critical thinking, and form the spirit of lifelong learning and pursuing their own excellence.
