Teaching Ethics: A Framework for Thought and Action

摘要

Education for ethics is a topic that is appearing frequently in journals and conferences, but there is little or no agreement on a theory of ethics education and action. This paper proposes non-naturalistic moral realism as a theoretical framework that can fit disciplinary and professional ethics. Alternatives to this framework are detailed, but the proposed theoretical stance is deemed both sound and useful. Examples of the application of the framework are included as a means to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposal.
