AB - The purpose of this study is to compare Buddhism’s theory of consciousness with John Dewey’s theory of consciousness, and to search its implications for modern education. In spite of the differences of the aim of life and the religious viewpoint, Buddhism and Dewey commonly show that our consciousness is not fixed, but is being changed continuously because of the co-relationship of subject and object. This co-relationship is called ‘interdependent arising’(緣起) in Buddhism, ‘transaction’ in Dewey’s philosophy respectively. The result of this study can be summarized as follows. Firstly, Buddhism and Dewey’s concept of consciousness show co-similarity in that the two do not permit the viewpoint of behaviorism separating the subject from the object. Secondly, the two’s theory of the construction of consciousness show co-similarity in that storehouse consciousness(阿賴耶識) and appearance(現行), response tendency of mind and the new stimulus, show the circular co-relationship respectively. Thirdly, Buddhism’s theory of ‘apoha’ and Dewey’s viewpoint of language show co-similarity in that the two do not permit the fixed, post-contextual viewpoint of language. In relation to this similarities of the two’s theory of consciousness, the teacher needs to be attentive to the student’s whole flow of consciousness, and to provide students with the environment of spontaneous thinking and inquiry.
