富有家庭教育传统的中国,历来重视父教的地位和作用,历史上颜之推的家训、曾国藩的家书,堪称父亲角色研究的典范。西方亦然,早在古罗马时期,父亲(尤其是父子关系)的研究就已经为人们所重视。跨入新世纪,经济、社会的新发展要求新型人才必须具备创新、人文等综合素质,而某些素质的培养亟需父亲的投入与参与。因此,在时代的感召下,人们不能不思考父亲角色的定位,人们也不能不看到,一个“新父亲时代”已经到来。 China, rich in family education tradition, has always attached importance to the status and role of patriarchal education. The family motto of Yan Zhitui in history and the family book of Zeng Guofan in history can be regarded as the model for the study of the role of father. In the West, too, as early as ancient Rome, the study of fathers (especially the relationship between father and son) had already been taken seriously. As we enter the new century, the new economic and social development requires new talents to possess the comprehensive qualities of innovation and humanities. However, the cultivation of certain qualities urgently requires the involvement and involvement of their father. Therefore, under the inspiration of the times, people can not but think about the positioning of their father’s role. People can not but see that a “new father’s age” has arrived.
