Abstract

Both science and humanity are two indispensable aspects of human reason. In the development from modern times on, however, scientific reason has a gradual tendency to lord it over and reject human cultural reason, which can be seen clearly in developments of higher education. The humanity education is not a kind of knowledge education of humanities, but also education of cultural spirits. There are historical grounds for the position change of knowledge education of humanities in college education , but a shortage of cultural spiritual education is indeed a symptom of deficiency in the university concept. It is helpful to close the separating trend in education of science and humanity and to rectify the university concept and orientation if we draw on the educational concept of universal persons and its relevant theories at the same time when we continue to develop professional education.
