This volume from the Routledge International Studies in the Philosophy of Education series addresses the growing calls for increased public attention to moral instruction. It provides a detailed philosophical defense of the idea that teachers should involve students in ethical discussions to build moral competence and strengthen character. This book focuses on the practical and theoretical aspects of the teacher's role in the classroom.

By examining how to create these environments, the text helps educators navigate the complexities of teaching morality in a diverse world. It is an essential resource for those looking to understand the methods and reasoning behind philosophical discussion in an educational setting.
