Reconciling Talent with an Ethics of Care

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In Education and Human Values: Reconciling Talent with an Ethics of Care, Michael Slote looks to care ethics to provide an answer to previously neglected questions, arguing that if we can teach people to be more caring and open-minded, we can take some of the edge off of the disappointment and resentment that occur when people are led to believe they are less talented or less intelligent than others. Through his demonstration of the inadequacies of an educational system devoted to maintaining a classroom atmosphere of blind democracy and absolute equality, Slote's work constitutes an answer to important questions his predecessors were unable to recognize or simply failed to address.
