Educación del carácter en España: causas y evidencias de un débil desarrollo

Abstract

During the last few years, there has been an internationally renewed focus on character education that has not been observed likewise in Spain. The aim of this article is to examine some of the main reasons and evidences of this weak development in our country, through an analysis of the educational legislation and the theoretical problems that underlie it. Moreover, a neoaristoelian character education is proposed, which overcomes problems of Kohlberg’s model and makes possible an integral education whose main aim is human flourishing.
