ABSTRACT Philosophy confronts two existential crises: the threats to its existence from scientists like Stephen Hawking who claim that philosophy is dead; and the threat to life itself from catastrophic climate change. The essay’s first theoretical part critiques Nietzsche’s claim that philosophy’s primary function is to guarantee the future of life. The essay’s second practical part claims that philosophy must meet the challenge of life’s extinction through a revised model for ethics in education. Taking its start from recent conceptualizations of philosophy as a ‘field discipline,’ this part considers African American models for delivering ethics in education to under-resourced communities. The third part shows how these theoretical models may be actualized in the practice of an African field philosopher.

道德与教育的未来：存在危机中的哲学

摘要哲学面临着两个生存危机：斯蒂芬·霍金（Stephen Hawking）等科学家宣称哲学已经消亡，从而威胁到它的存在；以及灾难性的气候变化对生命本身的威胁。文章的第一部分理论部分对尼采的观点提出了批评，尼采认为哲学的主要功能是保证生命的未来。文章的第二个实践部分主张，哲学必须通过修订后的教育伦理模型来应对生命灭绝的挑战。从最近将哲学概念化为“领域学科”开始，本部分考虑了向资源贫乏的社区提供教育伦理的非裔美国人模式。第三部分说明了如何在非洲田野哲学家的实践中实现这些理论模型。
