This Book Is intended for general readers interested in theoretical
and practical problems revolving around multiculturalism and
education. Most, if not all, philosophical debates come down to the
fundamental conflict between cocneptions of goods and rights.
Current debates about multiculturalism and pluralism, especially in
the area of education, often pit the goods of communities against
rights-claims of other groups or individuals, which leads to an
impasse. The author's alternative starting point for ethics allows
us to view these conflicts in a new light and thus bring new
changes for insightful resolutions. Chapter 1 poses the problem.
Chapter 2 begins the philosophical heart of the book with an
appropriation of Aristotle's moral theory as a framework to
consider ethics in a multicultural context. This re-reading of
Aristotle is accomplished in large part with the aid of the
philosophical hermeneutics of Gadamer. His general theory of
understanding and his reading of Aristotie are covered in Chapter
3. Chapter 4 highlights the dialogical virtues of humility, charity
and courage and Chapter 5 provides a perspective on education that
is based on the ethical theory previously developed. Chapter 6
applies the author's ethical and educational positions to
contemporary education, specifically those having to do with
diversity and multiculturalism.
