This volume investigates the role of the arts in character
education. Bringing together insights from esteemed philosophers
and educationalists, it looks to the arts for insight into human
character and explores the arts' relationship to human flourishing
and the development of the virtues. Focusing on the moral value of
art and considering questions of whether there can be educational
value in imaginative and non-narrative art, the nine chapters
herein critically examine whether poetry, music, literature, films,
television series, videogames, and even gardening may improve our
understanding of human character, sharpen our moral judgement,
inculcate or refine certain skills required for virtue, or perhaps
cultivate certain virtues (or vices) themselves. Bringing together
research on aesthetics, ethics, moral and character education, this
book will appeal to students, researchers and academics of
philosophy, arts, and education as well as philosophers of
education, morality, aesthetics, and teachers of the arts.
