Peer reviewedWilson, John – Journal of Moral Education, 1981
The author asserts that moral decision making can be taught, but that choosing the moral direction we wish students to take is problematical. He argues that the proper goal or direction is primarily allegiance to certain principles of rationality and justice, personal benevolence being a desirable goal but too fragile. (Author/SJL)
