Naturalism education thoughts originated in ancient Greece. Philosopher Aristotle put forward first time that education should be the principle of “imitate nature”, he once said: “the purpose of education and its role as the general art, original in imitating nature, and any gaps of nature to the diligent patched up.” He thinks, the person’s growth process was followed by the body, irrational spirit and rational spirit. Aristotle’s natural education played a cornerstone role for the development western naturalism education thought. Meanwhile, Aristotle thought is the natural in the objective nature, and it is different from the human society.
It has been a long time for the people who put god in the supreme position of the middle ages, every aspect of social life completely ignored the people as a man who has ever been a noble creature, philosophers in the Renaissance gradually pursuit of personality liberation, praise people, and make person’s status from the hell and bring people back to earth. Bacon from the UK gave an experience for the naturalistic education thought. Bacon stressed that if we want to command the nature we must obey the nature first. And he emphasizes the teaching should be based on sequence and process of the natural, and put forward the “natural method”. However these thought lack of systematic, all had mechanical effect on the understanding of the nature, they still open up people’s minds, and make Naturalism knew by more and more people of all around the world.
