Answering the "Virtuecrats": A Moral Conversation on Character Education
This is the first balanced critique of the current versions of character education, as espoused by such "virtuecrats" as William F. Bennett, Thomas Lickona, and William Kilpatrick as well as their opponents. In addition to its solid philosophical content, the book is written in a highly accessible style, featuring personal observation, teaching examples, and student commentary throughout. Answering the "Virtuecrats" is a fascinating dialogue that struggles with one of the most critical issues of our time, moral and ethical development. The book is of the utmost importance to teachers and educators, and anyone interested in the future of education today.
