Reviews

“Miller advances three compelling lines of argument to show that Aristotle thinks that practically wise people use the knowledge of a detailed ‘grand end’ to steer by when making decisions. Building on his interpretation of Aristotle, Miller argues persuasively that neo-Aristotelian theories of education are committed to the view that government should inculcate specific conceptions of practical wisdom and the human good in its citizenry. Miller concludes that character education violates liberal neutrality. This is a well-argued, thought-provoking challenge to neo-Aristotelian virtue education. Ignore it at your peril.” Howard J. Curzer, Texas Tech University, USA
