This article takes up three interrelated elements of Iris Murdoch's moral philosophy into an initial conceptual framework for moral education and explores a practical application of this framework to a lesson plan. The three elements are moral vocabulary, moral perception, and the quality of our states of consciousness. The framework constituted by these three elements suggests that moral education should enrich the moral vocabulary of students, sharpen their moral perception, and expand their consciousness. To provide a concrete example of what it would look like to advance these aims, the author shares their experience using Aesop's fable "The Fox and the Crow" in community education programs with adolescents.
