HANNAH ARENDT AND VIETNAMESE EDUCATION TRANSMITTING AND CREATING: TEACHING STUDENTS TO LOVE THE WORLD
Main Article Content
Abstract
The paper begins with a brief discussion of Vietnamese education in the East Asian context, arguing that the system does not hinder the ability to modernize but on the contrary, is rapidly expanding responding to globalization. However, there are concerns, especially with questions about creativity and adaptability. We will then turn to Hannah Arendt and her arguments on education, which focus on teaching children to love the world. Arendt's perspective is very Confucian, both in its view of conservative view of education as transmission of information, and its admonition that in transmitting the world, we must teach students to love it.
