This collection of essays provides new perspectives on the nature
of character and moral education by utilizing insights from the
disciplines of moral psychology, moral philosophy, and education.
The volume draws from personality and developmental research as
well as educational and ethical theory. Character Psychology and
Character Education distinguishes itself by bringing moral
philosophers, who believe that ethical reflection about virtue and
character must be tied to defensible notions of personality and
selfhood, into dialogue with academic psychologists, who believe
that the developmental study of the moral self requires adequate
grounding in various psychological literatures. The first group
embraces a "naturalized" ethics, while the second group favors a
"psychologized" morality. Among the topics explored in this volume
are the constructs of moral selfhood, personality, and identity, as
well as defensible models of character education. One of the
primary arguments of the volume is that problems of character
education cannot be addressed until an adequate model of character
psychology is developed. In addition to the excellent theoretical
essays, this collection includes applied chapters that consider the
challenge of character education in the context of schools,
families, and organized sports. This book will be an invaluable
resource both for scholars and practitioners in the fields of
psychology and education. Contributors: Daniel K. Lapsley, F. Clark
