About This Book

This book investigates the impact of education on the formation of character, moral education and the communication of values in late modern pluralistic societies. Scholars from four continents and many different academic fields are involved. While the basic framework for the contributions is informed by Christian traditions, the disciplines cover a significant range, including theology, education, psychology, literature, anthropology, law, and business. This makes for a rich variety of thematic concentrations and perspectives. Readers will quickly sense that the educational foundations and trajectories of any given country are pervasive and have a significant reach into the fabric and shape of the society and its values, making education a barometer of the well-being of a people and their culture. The result is a volume that will inform, stimulate and challenge our understanding of the role of education in contemporary societies.[Der Einfluss der Bildung auf Charakterbildung, ethische Erziehung und Kommunikation von Werten in spĂ€tmodernen pluralistischen Gesellschaften]Dieses Buch untersucht den Einfluss der Bildung auf die Charakterentwicklung, die moralische Erziehung und die Vermittlung von Werten in spĂ€tmodernen pluralistischen Gesellschaften. Die BeitrĂ€ge kommen von Wissenschaftlern und Wissenschaftlerinnen aus vier Kontinenten und vielen verschiedenen akademischen Bereichen. WĂ€hrend der Rahmen fĂŒr die BeitrĂ€ge von christlichen Traditionen geprĂ€gt ist, decken die Disziplinen eine große Bandbreite ab, darunter Theologie, PĂ€dagogik, Psychologie, Literatur, Anthropologie, Recht und Wirtschaft. Daraus ergibt sich eine reiche Vielfalt an thematischen Schwerpunkten und Perspektiven. Die Leserinnen und Leser werden schnell erkennen, dass die Bildungsgrundlagen und -wege eines jeden Landes bedeutenden Einfluss auf das GefĂŒge und die Form der Gesellschaft und ihrer Werte ausĂŒben. Dies macht Bildung zu einem Gradmesser fĂŒr das Wohlergehen eines Volkes und seiner Kultur. Entstanden ist ein Band, der unser VerstĂ€ndnis von der Rolle der Bildung in heutigen Gesellschaften heben, anregen und herausfordern kann.Contributions by Chung-Hyun Baik, Ashley Rogers Berner, David S.
