Title:: On Education: Its Ownership, Manifestation, Simulation, and the Resolution of Its Alienation

Abstract:: Through reviewing the theoretical development from Marx’s criticism of capitalist commodity society to De Boer’s criticism of landscape society and to the theoretical changes in Baudrillard’s simulated social criticism, the paper reveals the changes in various alienations in modern society from its ownership to its manifestation and simulation. These forms of alienation have penetrated education, reflecting that with the development of society the problem of educational alienation is reborn at a higher level. This type of alienation has made education deviate from its goal of fostering virtue and nurturing talents. Therefore, an in-depth analysis of the causes for educational alienation can help explore how to resolve it in the new era.
