Moral Philosophy and Psychology in Progressive and Traditional Educational Thought.

Carr, David

Journal of Philosophy of Education, v18 n1 p41-53 1984

The difference between Homer Lane's and A. S. Neill's progressive approach and R. S. Peter's traditional approach to moral education is examined. For Lane and Neill the sources of morality are in positive feeling upon which a rational moral principle is superimposed; for Peters altruistic sentiment is directed by intellect and understanding.
