Part of the Moyer Hall discussion will include the controversy over the meaning of character, freedom, and responsibility.
Freedom alone is valued.
Their task, rather, is to enable freedom and teach reading, writing, arithmetic, critical thinking, and so forth. Many philosophers agree that claims about how persons ought to act, what qualities of character they ought to develop, and how human societies ought to be organized presuppose claims about the nature of human existence and the nature of the real. Such philosophers may emphasize the explicit articulation and critical evaluation of such presuppositions as part of philosophy's particular contribution to the anaysis of freedom, responsibility, and character.
