| Aristotelian Character Education Subjects: Behavioral Sciences; Education; Humanities; Philosophy of Education; Psychological Science; Educational Psychology; Philosophy; Child Development; Philosophy of Psychology; Developmental Psychology; This book provides a reconstruction of Aristotelian character education, shedding new light on what moral character really is, and how it can be highlighted, measured, nurtured and taught in current schooling. Arguing that many recent approaches to character education understand character in exclusively amoral, instrumentalist terms, Kristjánsson proposes a coherent, plausible and up-to-date concept, retaining the overall structure of Aristotelian character education.
