Featuring “‘Lure Us to Paths of Virtue’: Mary Wollstonecraft on Moral Education” by Erika Bachiochi
“Moral formation” can sound unacceptably paternalistic and insufferably moralistic. But if virtue has something to do with our flourishing as human beings, if the content of our character is connected to our ability to “make a success of life,” then moral formation is what we owe the rising generation.
This landmark volume brings together a series of original and penetrating essays by educators, scholars, leaders, policymakers, and political commentators convinced of the necessity of character in our cultural and political moment.
