description: The recent burgeoning of interest in moral education and citizenship education, together with philosophical considerations of morality, form the background to this volume. It takes us a long way from some of the older approaches to moral education which saw children's moral universe rather in terms of overdue library books or inconsiderate treatment of siblings, and explains in what sense rules and principles are properly at the heart of morality and moral education and in what sense they are not.
