Paradox of Moral Education

Abstract

Paradox of Moral Education. – When Ricoeur talks about moral education, he demands nondistortion of the real world, which is always already present in our perception. It is necessary to disclose a source of our inner ethic values – this is the only true morality, when we are able to look up at this horizont of our moral estimations, however this horizont is fading from our look, everytime we want to fix it and make it rigorous. In this case, neither an evidence nor a habit can help us and it is also necessary to forbear from an automatization of behavior by means of habits.
