The Concept of Moral Education: Indian and Western--A Comparative Study.

Seshadri, C.

Comparative Education, v17 n3 p293-310 1981

This comparative study of Indian and contemporary Western views on moral education reveals that the Indian view differs in its conception, objectives, content and methodology, and the interpretation of the role of the teacher. "Doing," rather than "knowing," feeling, rather than reason, play the central role. (Author/SJL)
