Description - Education in Morality by J. Mark Halstead
What should teachers and schools do about moral education? This volume offers a variety of perspectives on some of the most fundamental questions about moral education. Section one considers the nature of morality and moral education. In section two a debate is developed about citizenship and moral education in a liberal democracy, and about the importance of wider social considerations. Section three offers a critique of the currently popular concept of character education. Section Four focuses on pluralism and postmodernism, which provide some of the most powerful challenges to familiar concepts of moral education. Finally, section five, raises the question of moral motivation. The volume as a whole is written in the belief that philosophy has an important contribution to make in bringing about a clearer understanding of the task of moral education. There is an international team of contributors including both philosophers and educationalists. These include: David Best, Brian Crittenden, Paul Hirst, Ruth Jonathon, John Kekes, Will Kymlicka, Alasdair MacIntyre and Amelie Oksenberg Rorty.
