Liberalism as a Theoretical Framework for Moral Education: Promises and Problems

Abstract

I wrote this paper upon being invited to a special conference in China on moral education entitled “Taishan Academic Forum: Globalization and Moral Education.” As in the case for the paper in Chapter 13, the invitation came from Tianlong Yu. In addition to his tenured teaching position at Southern Illinois University, at the time of the conference Tianlong also held a rotating endowed chair in moral education at Shandong University in Jinan during the summer months.
