Creating moral self
Journal Title: Kultura Pedagogiczna - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper shows some philosophical and practical problems of moral education such as the gap between moral knowledge and moral action. It emphasizes the role of emotional dispositions and human character in building moral identity. And it articulates the criticism of Kohlbergian conception as an insufficient approach to moral education. Instead, a theory of moral deep self is proposed as a better account of the acquisition of moral guiding motivation.
