Summary:
"America's moral educators have continually splintered our humanity throughout higher education's history. Unable to agree upon a common ethical understanding of our humanity, educators turned to shards of our identity to help students find their moral bearings. The Dismantling of Moral Education explains why and how we arrived at this situation"-- Provided by publisher.
