Book

The formation of character in education : from Aristotle to the 21st century

Arthur, James (Professor of Education and Civic Engagement), author

Overview

This volume offers an introduction to the foundations, practices, policies, and issues of character formation historically. Following a chronological order, it charts the idea of character formation in the Western tradition by critically examining its precursors, origins, development, meanings, and uses. The book is based on the premise that current conditions and debates around character formation cannot be fully understood without knowledge of the historical background. It introduces many of the debates character formation has generated in order to offer different perspectives and possibilities and uses Aristotle as a lens to gain a better understanding of some of these positions, particularly the theoretical goals of character formation.
