Synopsis

The Moral Instruction of Children is a classic parenting handbook/parenting skills guide by Felix Adler. Moral education is everywhere acknowledged to be the most important part of all education; but there has not been the same agreement in regard to the best means of securing it in the school. This has been due in part to a want of insight into the twofold nature of this sort of education; for instruction in morals includes two things: the formation of right ideas and the formation of right habits.

About this title

About the Author

Born in Alzey, Grand Duchy of Hesse, Germany August 13, 1851 Died on April 24, 1933 Felix Adler was one of the foremost philosophers involved with applied ethics and the effort of people to live moral lives. When it comes to listing ethical leaders, Felix Adler's name is frequently listed alongside those of Gandhi, Confucius, and Socrates. Adler began from the very basic Kantian premise that each and every person has moral worth and is deserving of both dignity and respect. Adler frequently emphasized the need to develop a virtuous self, not in pursuit of some other goal but rather as a goal in itself: "A virtuous act is one in which the ends of self and of the other are respected and promoted jointly."
