The Theory and Practice of Virtue Education offers the reader a
comprehensive and authoritative account of both the theoretical and
practical complexities of cultivating virtue in education and
beyond. The book moves beyond the usual philosophical literature
that merely discusses virtue in the abstract, and offers scholarly,
research-informed suggestions for practice. Drawn from a highly
successful international conference organised by the Jubilee Centre
for Character and Virtues, the chapters in this volume offer a
unique insight into the varieties of approaches that leading
scholars have identified for putting the learning and nurturing of
virtues into practice. Featured are chapters from internationally
acclaimed scholars primarily in the fields of philosophy,
psychology and education, which are categorised under three
headings: philosophical and theoretical foundations for cultivating
virtues; developing virtues in practice; and nurturing specific
virtues. Beginning with chapters that examine differing theoretical
complexities of virtue education, the book then moves on to explore
different approaches to nurturing virtue in the classroom and
beyond. This practical approach is further evidenced in the final
section, where individual virtues are discussed. The Theory and
Practice of Virtue Education highlights the theoretical complexity
of putting virtue education into practice and, as a result, is of
real use to researchers, academics and postgraduates in the fields
of education, philosophy, psychology, sociology and theology. It
should also be essential reading for educators in character and
virtue.
