Philosophical Discussion in Moral Education - The Community of Ethical Inquiry

Informationen zum Autor Tim Sprod Klappentext In recent years there has been an increase in the number of calls for moral education to receive greater public attention. In our pluralist society, however, it is difficult to find agreement on what exactly moral education requires. Philosophical Discussion in Moral Education develops a detailed philosophical defence of the claim that teachers should engage students in ethical discussions to promote moral competence and strengthen moral character.
