Editors Elizabeth Kiss and J. Peter Euben survey the history of ethics in higher education, then engage with provocative recent writings by Stanley Fish in which he argues that universities should not be involved in moral education. Stanley Hauerwas responds, offering a theological perspective on the university's purpose. Contributors look at the place of politics in moral education; suggest that increasingly diverse, multicultural student bodies are resources for the teaching of ethics; and show how the debate over civic education in public grade-schools provides valuable lessons for higher education. Others reflect on the virtues and character traits that a moral education should foster in students--such as honesty, tolerance, and integrity--and the ways that ethical training formally and informally happens on campuses today, from the classroom to the basketball court. "Debating Moral Education" is a critical contribution to the ongoing discussion of the role and evolution of ethics education in the modern liberal arts university.
