Abstract:

With the development of embodied cognition and its penetration in other disciplines, moral embodiment and embodied moral education have gradually become the current research trend. Embodied morality transcends the duality of reason, cognition and intuition, emotion, and the mechanistic addition of these two aspects, emphasizing that morality is rooted in the subject's body and the subject's actions and experiences in the world. Based on this, the embodied moral education pays attention to the embodied existence and development of the moral subject inhabiting the surroundings, and provides a way to solve the problems of restraining the body and raising the mind and various fragmentation problems in moral education. The necessity and importance of embodied moral education are beyond doubt. However, from the existing research, the development of embodied moral education is still in the initial construction stage of reference and exploration, and there are problems or deficiencies, including insufficient depth and systematization, lack of connection with existing moral education theories, and neglect of cultural particularity. Future research needs to explore more embodied moral education thoughts in traditional Chinese philosophy, and systematically construct more solid embodied moral education theory and practice based on multidisciplinary evidence, fusion methods, and diverse and open perspectives.

Key words: body, moral education, embodied cognition, embodied moral education
