摘要

本研究反省生命意義以典範人物進行教學之方式：首先，探討生命的意義問題之重要性，指出「問意義的問題」是人的天性以求身心安頓；再者，須反思生命意義的自覺不是追求外在於生命之事物，而是為師者應先貼近並幫助學生理解其生活世界，察覺感官物慾對心靈的紛擾，期藉由海德格哲學看清被芸芸眾生決定的存有方式；其三，基於對沉淪的日常存有樣式之理解，透過「畏」的情緒傾聽良知的聲音，使其能啟動生命的抉擇，亦即對自我生命意義的實踐。本研究並提供「教化」概念對生命意義教導上的新視野，結論是理解即行動的人文精神。當學生能理解其生命，則必會帶出行動；反之，便非真正的理解。其在生命意義之自覺與實踐上的意義是：當真正理解自我生命的獨特性，並自由地選取屬己的可能性，必會用一生去實踐自我的人生意義。

The primary concern of this paper is the way of teaching life meaning by role model learning. This paper aims to reflect upon such a pedagogic process. The discussions in this paper are outlined as follows: First, I would like to expose the importance of the question for life meaning. The searching for meaning is a nature of human being. We are always eager to make our life be settled at somewhere of meaning to us. Then, we have to reflect that the self-awareness of life meaning is not to search for something exterior to our life. Rather, the teachers have to help their students comprehend their own life. It is so as to make our students be aware of what distraction and constraints the sensual desire indulgence has imposed upon the mind. Heidegger's philosophical thinking helps us, the people in everyday life, realize the way of life we are leading as is only the one similar to everyone. Based on the comprehension and awareness of our fallen everyday life, we can hear the voice of our conscience through angst. The voice of conscience opens us to our own life choices and resolution. This leads us to the realization of our own life meaning. This paper concerns also for a reflection on pedagogy of humanity as different from that for science of objective knowledge. I want to bring into this field the concept of cultivation as a new horizon for the pedagogy of life education. Finally, I conclude at ＂comprehension comprehends action＂ for humanity. When students start to comprehend their own life, such comprehension is inevitably brought into action. On the contrary, it is not ＂true comprehension＂ if there is no active application associated with it. With such a standpoint in the life meaning awareness and realization, it turns out that: Once we really comprehend the uniqueness of one's life and we have the freedom to choose the possibility most pertinent to our own, we will definitely make our resolution to realize our own life meaning.
