This book includes an analysis of the broad stages in the developmental pattern, of the key variables that must shape it, of their function in moral judgement and of the principles that must lie behind a moral education that has autonomy as its goal.

Unter Rekurs auf die Ergebnisse soziologischer Studien über den Einstellungs- und Wertewechsel der städtischen Jugend Chinas beschreibt der Artikel die Versuche von Staat und Partei, der aus der Konfrontation traditioneller Werte mit den Erfordernissen einer westlich orientierten Modernisierung erwachsenen "moralischen Krise" der chinesischen Gesellschaft mit einer politisch-ideologischen Kampagne zur Verstärkung der "moralischen Erziehung" zu begegnen.

This new textbook draws on most of the major theoretical positions but eschews the traditional, historical approach and the use of names and schools of thought as organizing devices, and instead focuses on the ideas themselves. In doing so, it exposes a number of common confusions and misunderstandings about morality, and presents a strong argument for some indisputable truths in relation to the moral sphere

I argue that political liberals should not support the monopoly of a single educational approach in state sponsored schools. Instead, they should allow reasonable citizens latitude to choose the worldview in which their own children are educated. I begin by defending a particular conception of political liberalism, and its associated requirement of public reason, against the received interpretation. I argue that the values of respect and civic friendship that motivate the public reason requirement do not support the common demand that citizens "bracket" their comprehensive commitments in politics. Rather, citizens should seek to enact policies the justification of which is compatible with the truth of their fellow reasonable citizens' worldviews. Next I argue that no single educational approach can meet this standard of justification. Many believe that state sponsored education in a pluralist, liberal society ought to present multiple worldviews in a neutral way. I argue that this aspiration is unrealizable, and no other educational model will plausibly meet the justificatory demand. Finally, I address two objections to my favored alternative: that it may allow for the inculcation of disrespect, and that it violates children's autonomy. Against the first, I claim that political liberals have no grounds for thinking that reasonable citizens will seek to inculcate disrespect. Finally, I argue that there is no conception of autonomy that can sustain the second.
