Produktbeschreibung
In Moral Education in a Democracy, Charles Thomas Taylor argues that a common morality is essential for the security and well-being of a democratic society, but that the traditional dissemination of such moral values is now insufficient and inadequate. This deficiency requires a dramatic shift of the burden of this activity from the religious institutions to the public schools. Taylor proposes both a curriculum and a methodology for public moral education. While he maintains that an appropriate body of ethics can be derived from the ethical tenets of the major religions, he offers as a working model his own composite of such an ethics code. He further proposes a program of adult remedial moral education for use as an integral component of criminal rehabilitation and mental healthcare for convicts.

This work is his eighth and most consummate endeavor, combining many years of thought, research and hard work. After a successful career in business, Taylor retired at age 73 and currently resides in Erie, Colorado, where he continues to write and explore philosophical ideas. Along with writing, he enjoys reading, hiking and attending classical music concerts. He is an accomplished pianist, organist, composer, and devoted father to Karen.
