Abstract

The foc us of this essay is philosophical. Arguments are offered stating that the Reflective Approach to Clive Beck's values education is either logically inconsistent or incoherent insofar as Beck muddles the theoretical distinction which needs to be made between moral and non-moral values , and between ultimate life goals and
corresponding means values which may be either specific or intermediate. Criticisms are also offered suggesting that the Reflective Approach is relativistic and inadequate to deal with interpersonal conflict, an important aspect of moral value experience.
