A primary aim of any comprehensive democratic education is to prepare citizens for full and active participation in the public sphere. Crucial to meeting this aim is the development of key cognitive-emotional skills, such as perspective-taking. At the same time, many of the social institutions in which cognitive-emotional skill training might be implemented – such as schools – are insufficiently diverse, particularly with respect to race and socio-economic status. Yet, without a sufficiently diverse setting in which to train perspective-taking and other cognitive-emotional skills, we run the risk of simply learning to exercise these skills with those who are similar to us. Philosophers have already drawn attention to the benefits and risks of widespread and thorough integration as a strategy for addressing the insufficient diversity problem. Against these alternatives, I argue that measures can be taken to create more integrated contexts in which to train cognitive-emotional skills and engage constructively with diverse others as part of a comprehensive democratic education under current non-ideal conditions – what I call taking a Purposeful Interaction Approach. The Purposeful Interaction Approach may even promote more sustainable versions of other, more robust forms of integration. Far from replacing them, the Purposeful Interaction Approach is thus meant to amplify a variety of efforts to achieve the broader social justice goal of promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in public life.

认知情感技能与民主教育

任何全面民主教育的首要目标是让公民做好充分和积极参与公共领域的准备。实现这一目标的关键是关键认知-情感技能的发展,例如换位思考。与此同时,许多可能实施认知-情感技能培训的社会机构——例如学校——不够多样化,尤其是在种族和社会经济地位方面。然而,如果没有足够多样化的环境来训练观点采择和其他认知 - 情感技能,我们就会冒着简单地学习与我们相似的人练习这些技能的风险。哲学家们已经提请注意广泛而彻底的整合作为解决多样性不足问题的策略的好处和风险。针对这些替代方案,我认为可以采取措施创造更综合的环境,在其中训练认知 - 情感技能并建设性地与不同的其他人互动,作为当前非理想条件下全面民主教育的一部分——我称之为采取有目的的交互方法。有目的的交互方法甚至可以促进其他更强大的集成形式的更可持续版本。因此,目的性互动方法远非取代它们,而是旨在扩大各种努力,以实现更广泛的社会正义目标,即促进公共生活中的多样性、公平性和包容性。我认为可以采取措施创造更综合的环境,在其中训练认知 - 情感技能并与不同的其他人建设性地互动,作为当前非理想条件下全面民主教育的一部分——我称之为采取有目的的互动方法。有目的的交互方法甚至可以促进其他更强大的集成形式的更可持续版本。因此,目的性互动方法远非取代它们,而是旨在扩大各种努力,以实现更广泛的社会正义目标,即促进公共生活中的多样性、公平性和包容性。我认为可以采取措施创造更综合的环境,在其中训练认知 - 情感技能并与不同的其他人建设性地互动,作为当前非理想条件下全面民主教育的一部分——我称之为采取有目的的互动方法。有目的的交互方法甚至可以促进其他更强大的集成形式的更可持续版本。因此,目的性互动方法远非取代它们,而是旨在扩大各种努力,以实现更广泛的社会正义目标,即促进公共生活中的多样性、公平性和包容性。更强大的集成形式。因此,目的性互动方法远非取代它们,而是旨在扩大各种努力,以实现更广泛的社会正义目标,即促进公共生活中的多样性、公平性和包容性。更强大的集成形式。因此,目的性互动方法远非取代它们,而是旨在扩大各种努力,以实现更广泛的社会正义目标,即促进公共生活中的多样性、公平性和包容性。
