Title: On the prospects for Aristotelian character education.
Authors: Lapsley, Daniel (AUTHOR)
Source: Journal of Moral Education. Dec2016, Vol. 45 Issue 4, p502-515. 14p.
Subjects: Aristotelianism (Philosophy), Moral education, Naturalism, Realism, Values clarification
Abstract: The prospects for Aristotelian character education (ACE) is considered. Seven important claims that should win wide acceptance are reviewed; and also two challenges that are impediments. I argue many of the assumptions of ACE turn out not to be distinctive. The conflation of realism and naturalism is ill-considered, and the account ofphronesiswill need additional clarification to be helpful to educators, as will the specific recommendations on offer. I conclude with a suggestion that Dewey offers a powerful, empirically grounded, educationally accessible account of moral functioning that meets the desiderata of ACE; and that charting an integrative perspective is an exciting prospect for the future.
