Abstract

Abstract:In this paper, I forge a strong educational bond between opera and the humanities: opera as liberal education, not just additional to or exemplary of. After rehearsing the well-known present-day criticisms of liberal education, I first make the diagnosis that the trouble with liberal education as teaching and learning the humanities is not so much its theoretical justification as its practical implementation. To neutralize the criticisms and to solve the problem of how to practically realize a theoretically defensible goal, my proposal is, next, to exploit opera as the vehicle of liberal education. Finally, I detail my proposal, offering suggestions about the way opera as liberal education can function on the curriculum.

作为博雅教育的歌剧

摘要：在这篇论文中，我在歌剧和人文学科之间建立了一种牢固的教育纽带：歌剧作为博雅教育，而不仅仅是对其的补充或示范。在复述了当今著名的对自由教育的批评之后，我首先诊断出，作为人文学科的教学，自由教育的问题与其说是其理论合理性，不如说是其实际实施。为了消除这些批评，并解决如何切实实现理论上可辩护的目标的问题，我的建议是，接下来，利用歌剧作为自由教育的载体。最后，我详细介绍了我的建议，并就歌剧作为文科教育在课程中的作用提出了建议。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Aesthetic Education (JAE) is a highly respected interdisciplinary journal that focuses on clarifying the issues of aesthetic education understood in its most extensive meaning. The journal thus welcomes articles on philosophical aesthetics and education, to problem areas in education critical to arts and humanities at all institutional levels; to an understanding of the aesthetic import of the new communications media and environmental aesthetics; and to an understanding of the aesthetic character of humanistic disciplines. The journal is a valuable resource not only to educators, but also to philosophers, art critics and art historians.
