THE MAKING OF MORAL PERSON
EDUCATION (LEARNING VIRTUES) VS PRACTICE (DOING VIRTUOUS ACTS)
We believe in education as important in changing lives. We love to hear good words, nice examples, nourishing stories of good people, and mostly hearing stories of lives of saints and heroes. THIS IS PART OF LEARNING VIRTUES. Plato the teacher of Aristotle had always emphasized to his students in the early Greek civilization (around 3rd Cent/4th Cent BCE), “TO KNOW THE GOOD MAKES ONE DO THE GOOD. IGNORANCE OF THE GOOD MAKES ONE DOES EVIL.?” Stories of good life tell us what is it to do the good.
However, we are also hearing from ARISTOTLE’S SIDE, the student of Plato, THAT KNOWLEDGE OF THE GOOD DOES NOT GUARANTEE OF DOING THE GOOD. FOR TODAY’S EXPERIENCE, many professionals, intellectuals, good leaders, mostly educated individuals (including teachers) from all folks of life have committed crimes, immorality, mistakes, and even violate the call of a good life. HENCE, no guarantee of moral life thru education. WE NEED HABITUATiON—repeated practice of good life to become MORAL PERSON FIRST….thus practice, practice and practice of moral action/s daily all of our lives.
WHAT IS IT TO BE MORAL? OR ETHICAL?
DO YOU ADHERE PLATO’S ARGUMENT ABOVE? OR DO YOU ADHERE ARISTOTLE? Why?
IF YOU ARE ARISTOTLE, HOW WILL YOU CHANGE THE ATTITUDE OF THE CHILD USING THE PRINCIPLE IN VIRTUE ETHICS CALLED HABITUATIONS.
IF ALL PARENTS DECIDE TO MAKE EVERY CHILD AS A MORAL PERSON, What is its effect in our society today? What do you think, if everyone is virtuous, will it make a difference for people in society? Comment on this…
