Challenge of Pluralism
"The Challenge of Pluralism" examines the problematic issues of the role of moral education in a pluralistic society. The book takes an interdisciplinary focus and contributors include experts in such fields as psychology, educational policy studies, political history, the history of education, curriculum studies, philosophy of education, theology and gender studies. The essays delve into the myriad reasons for the moral education controversy and examine how the contemporary debate over the place of moral education in a pluralistic society takes place within the larger context of the current arguments over the quality of American education. In addition to a historical examination of the value-pluralism issue, the volume offers critiques of specific educational regimens as they address the problem of moral education.

Character Psychology And Character Education
This collection of essays provides new perspectives on the nature of character and moral education by utilizing insights from the disciplines of moral psychology, moral philosophy, and education. The volume draws from personality and developmental research as well as educational and ethical theory. Character Psychology and Character Education distinguishes itself by bringing moral philosophers, who believe that ethical reflection about virtue and character must be tied to defensible notions of personality and selfhood, into dialogue with academic psychologists, who believe that the developmental study of the moral self requires adequate grounding in various psychological literatures. The first group embraces a "naturalized" ethics, while the second group favors a "psychologized" morality. Among the topics explored in this volume are the constructs of moral selfhood, personality, and identity, as well as defensible models of character education. One of the primary arguments of the volume is that problems of character education cannot be addressed until an adequate model of character psychology is developed. In addition to the excellent theoretical essays, this collection includes applied chapters that consider the challenge of character education in the context of schools, families, and organized sports. This book will be an invaluable resource both for scholars and practitioners in the fields of psychology and education.
