Elizabeth Kiss and J. Peter Euben on Defining Moral Education

Thanks are due to, friend of the Rock, Sanford Gray Thatcher for bringing this article from Inside Higher Ed to our attention. 

I think Kiss and Euben do a nice job of articulating some of the central pedagogical challenges faced by those of us who teach ethics, and of making the case that ethics can be central to the mission of the university without undermining its commitment to critical inquiry and academic freedom (which, I have to admit, have always seemed to me to be substantive ethical commitments, rather than morally-neutral cognitive values).  I’ll be interested to hear what you think.

After reading the article, please feel free to leave comments below, or to respond to the original query on our Facebook page.
