Abstract
The well-known proposition of Socrates virtue is initiated the moral rationalism in western countries.In his opinion,all the virtues are inseparatable from knowledge,while knowledge is the basis of virtue.However,as a matter of fact,virtue and knowledge are antinomy.Therefore,we should not just impart or infuse moral as if it is pure knowledge during the course of educating.What we should do is to make it possible for moral education to be in close connection with practical life so as to strengthen the moral experiences of the educated.As a result,the educated will enrich their own moral regulations and turn those regulations into their own moral need,or change them into correct moral behavior.
