This book proposes an approach to values education centered on
an analysis of the relationship between thinking and valuing and
focused on strategies for nurturing the capacity for sustained,
disciplined, and informed reflection on the issues of moral
decision and religious belief.
Robert T. Sandin contends that there is an urgent need for
education at the present time to effect a return to the traditional
ideals of intellectual and moral virtue. Supporting observations
include recent evaluations of values education in American schools
and colleges, a review of several well-known theories of
values-related education, and an account of the development of the
philosophy of value in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries. Sandin is committed to the concept that virtue is
compatible with the ideals of learning, and further demonstrates
why the role of religion in modern culture depends on the
effectiveness of a program of education that nurtures an authentic
spirituality, free from illusion.
