For centuries human beings have asked questions about what it is to be virtuous and how to teach goodness to the next generation. This volume contains 11 essays, written by highly regarded thinkers in the fields of theology, philosophy, and anthropology, which address the question: Can virtue be taught? Collectively these essays illuminate our current national dilemma over the problematic role of moral education in a pluralistic society; in addition they illustrate the positive role diversity plays in any discussion of virtues and education in our interdependent global community. Contributors: Huston Smith, Amelie Oksenberg Rorty, Bhikhu Parekh, Elizabeth Kamarck Minnich, Frederick J. Streng, Katherine Platt, Ninian Smart, Leroy S. Rouner, Robert Cummings Neville Sharon Daloz Parks, and George Rupp.
