The Formation of Character: From Aristotle to the 21st Century
offers an introduction to the foundations, practices, policies and
issues of character formation historically. Following a
chronological order, it charts the idea of character formation in
the Western tradition by critically examining its precursors,
origins, development, meanings and uses. The book is based on the
premise that current conditions and debates around character
formation cannot be fully understood without knowledge of the
historical background. It introduces many of the debates character
formation has generated in order to offer different perspectives
and possibilities and uses Aristotle as a lens to gain a better
understanding of some of these positions, particularly the
theoretical goals of character formation. Chapters explore
character education from the classical period through the medieval,
early modern, enlightenment and Victorian eras to 20th century
influences, ending with a discussion of contemporary policies and
themes relating to character education. This book will appeal to
academics, researchers, and post-graduate students in the fields of
character and virtue education as well as the history of education.
