Abstract

This paper introduces and compares the original education ideology of Confucius and Plato’s educational philosophies, and discusses the differences in education equality, opinions on family education, the teaching process, the relationship of the teacher and students, and the purpose of education. It is apparent that they have quite distinct beliefs in these areas which potentially causes the distinction of educational development in China and Europe. Moreover, this article analyses the implementation of philosophies in Chinese and European history by comparing the revolutionary changes in the education system of the two regions. The main manifestation in China is the Chinese Imperial Examination as it interpreted Confucius’ educational structure. The revolutionary changes in the European education system mainly discuss the Renaissance that reformed the philosophies of ancient Greek, including Plato’s education ideologies. As an inspiration, this paper briefly provides an accessible education model for maximizing the original ideas of Confucius and Plato by combining the modern Chinese teaching material with the modern European education methodology.
