In ancient Chinese and western, there are two education masters can be comparable to each other.one is Confucius [kənˈfju:ʃəs] in China and the other one is the ancient Greek Socrates[ˈsɔkrəti:z] , which up to now are still praised in the world.Imagine, when Socrates meets Confucius, what sparks will they collide out(碰撞出)? As we know, Confucius is considered as the greatest of theancient Chinese sages[seɪdʒz](圣人), and Socrates was an ancient Greek philosopher[fəˈlɒsəfə(r)](哲学家）who was regarded as a saint（圣人）dying for the pursuit（追求）of the truth.When it comes to educational mode[məʊd]（方式）, they have something in common, but at the same time they still hold volume[ˈvɒlju:m]（大量）of different views.From the perspective（观点）of Confucius, Confucius's teaching method is the gentleman type, although in the teaching he is an amiable['eɪmɪəbl]（和蔼可亲的）old man, he established[ɪˈstæblɪʃt]（建立）the basic specification of teacher’s absolute authority（权利，权威）.In general, Confucius taught students by the knowledge-transference way.Although he also prompted[p'rɒmptɪd]（鼓励）the student, what he did was intended to find ways to let them understand what the teacher said better.So he was not happy for students against the intention（意图）of their teacher.This educational mode is more to cultivate（培养）students to the teacher's loyalty and understanding, to believe in authority.However, Socrates’ teaching methods were quite different from Confucius’.He never taught students the ready-made answers, but took dispute[dɪ'spju:t]（辩论）, cross-examine and so on to force students to think for themselves, and finally found the answer to their questions.He didn’t care whether they thought the same with their teacher and they believe what the teacher said or not.The Socrates’ mode is more to cultivate students

their

own

reasoning

ability

and self-awareness[ˈselfəˈweənis]（自我意识）

So Plato['pleɪtəʊ]（柏拉图）, who was good at thinking and pursued（追求）the dialectical [ˈdaɪə'lektɪkl]（辩证的）way, became the heir[eə(r)]（继承人）of Socrates' education style.From the way of education, Confucius transmitted（传播）knowledge while Socrates forced students themselves to get knowledge;Confucius taught people to believe while Socrates taught them to doubt.Of course, they both paid attention to the heuristic[hjuˈrɪstɪk]（启发式的）teaching and encouraged independent thinking instead of the force-feeding teaching with results given directly.If they two learnt the teaching idea from each other, the world culture will be further integration[ˈɪntɪ'ɡreɪʃn]（整合，一体化）.Also, China's feudal[ˈfju:dl]（封建的）culture bound[baʊnd]（文化界）won't continue for so long.Last but not least（最后）, the cultural conflicts will be reduced and the world will be more peaceful.

第四篇：当苏格拉底遇见孔子英语作文

When Socrates Meets Confucius Common people come to the world with nothing, and leave with nothing.Great people come to the world with nothing, but they’ll leave with endless possibilities.Socrates and Confucius are such great people.Assuming these two wise individuals with their regional thoughts deeply in mind meet one day, what kind of spectacle will happen on them or even in the two countries, especially in China?

Firstly, Chinese will gradually realize the importance of the establishment of the legal system.The Confucianism centered on morality.It emphasizes that morality is much more important than the law, which inversely causes the citizen’s law consciousness to be light.While the Socrates lived in a more law-based country, comparing to the virtue, he attached greater importance to the legislation.So, when Socrates meets Confucius, he will share his legal awareness with Confucius and finally blend it to the Chinese culture.Secondly, Chinese will deal with things in a more rational and scientific way.In ancient China, most people are superstitious.The Confucianism spread some kind of mysterious figure, such as the god and the fairy.So, many times when it came to something difficult to deal with or explain to the civilians, the rulers may choose to advocate the illusory theology to comfort them.This kind of handling will only cover up the facts in short term.While Socrates’ thought is scientific, he may have an absolutely different way to deal with the same thing.Thus, when Socrates meets Confucius, as the days progressed, Chinese will be more rational and no longer depend on the so called god to bless for a good life, but try to work hard on their own.Thirdly, Chinese culture will be more inclusive and exoteric in academic.The Confucianism is almost authoritarian in the ancient times, especially in the Qing dynasty, which limited the development of other schools.Whereas the Socrates treats the academic in a broader way, he recognizes the freedom of learning.Therefore, when Socrates meets Confucius, Chinese culture will develop in a more inclusive and exoteric way.Different thoughts will integrate and the Chinese culture will“sparking”.In conclusion, if Socrates meets Confucius, great changes must have happened to China in the establishment of the legal system, the rational and scientific Chinese manners of dealing with things and the more inclusive and exoteric Chinese culture.

When Socrates meets Confucius

Yudan has said:”Confucius is grey,it’s splendid when grey is mixed with any other colours.”That is to say,Confucius interlinks the colourful world.Interlink is extensive,from east to west,from ancient times to modern times.The majority of people may can’t help asking:”what sparks can appear when confucius interlinks Socrates?”So,today,the tittle of my speech is when Socrates meets confucius.Some people advocate that Socrates or confucius traverses to meet.While from my own perspective,Socrates is on behalf of ancient greek,confucius is on behalf of ancient china,to some extent,the title means that the culture of ancient greek meets culture of ancient china.They staged a similar life,bring hope and bright to their own country,making a difference.Socrates’concept of supremacy of law and a democratic society are invariably corresponded with confucius’ idea of ceremy and common society.Indeed, the waves pushed forward waves.In some ways,Socrates is superior to confucius.For example,the limitation of kinship that Socrates put forward is straightforward,on contrast,the view that confucius hold ispeople are more important than the ruler,giving us a more temperate feeling.We will form thesituation which is called a combination of Chinese and western when the two cultures meet.,which can help us own a finer and more harmonious society.
