The author first categorized philosophy into atomism, pragmatism and holism; and used holism as the basis for the discussion of curriculum philosophy. Then, the philosophy of second systems. Philosophical orientations of a curriculum may be one of the following five areas: cognitive processes, self-actualization, social reconstruction and relevance, academic rationalism, and curriculum as technology. According to its educational value systems, curriculum may be categorized as classical humanism, reconstructionism and progressivism. Based on this, the author thinks that humanistic curriculum is founded on self-actualization as its philosophical orientation and progressivism as its educational value system. However, the author modifies progressivism and gives the new name modern humanism, which differs in progressivism with the integration of cognitive and affective dimensions into humanistic curriculum.
