Abstract

The paper deals primarily with the currently popular notion of "moral education". While the author believes that the concept of "education" itself has a moral connotation, he points out some of the theoretical problems that must be resolved before adding the prefix "moral" to education as well as the practical difficulties that will be encountered in teaching this confused "subject" in the public schools in a multi-cultural society.
