| Summary: | What is the role of colleges and universities in forming the character of students? Should universities even attempt to cultivate virtue? If so, how can they do so effectively in a pluralistic context? Cultivating Virtue in the University seeks to answer these questions by gathering diverse perspectives on character education within twenty-first century universities. Bringing together experts from a variety of academic disciplines, this volume catalyzes a critical debate about the possibilities and limits of character education in the university while offering theoretical and practical perspectives on what such education could look like in increasingly global, pluralistic and intercultural institutions. Ultimately, by engaging insights from education, history, literature, philosophy, psychology, sociology and theology, the volume encourages faculty, staff and administrators to embrace the opportunities and challenges of cultivating virtue in the university. |
