What kind of harm will the omnipotence theory of school education produce?
The omnipotence of education is a view that exaggerates the role of education in human development and thinks that people are completely the product of education. Kant, a German philosopher, believes that the reason why people become human is entirely the result of education. Watson, an American psychologist, once said that he can change a dozen healthy children in a special way and train them into doctors, lawyers, beggars, thieves and so on. Helvetius, a French enlightenment thinker, is the representative of the omnipotence of education. In On Man's Rational Ability and Education, he thinks that human beings are equal in talent and have no difference in genetic quality. Man is the product of environment and education, and his personality, temperament and spirit are all the results of education. By developing human rationality through education, we can form a sound morality, thus changing the social status quo and establishing a rational social system. It can be seen that those who hold education omnipotence generally ignore or deny the role of genetic quality and human subjective initiative in human development, and regard social environment and education as decisive factors affecting human development.
