Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Essentials of Character: A Practical Study of the Aim of Moral Education
Moreover, the educator may always safely insist upon the qualities that belong to character in this sense; but respecting the peculiar gifts Of each individual, he must, as it were, wait upon nature and be guided by the revela tion She makes. It is risky for a father to decide that his son shall be a physician or a man of business except as the son's own development gives the signs of fitness for the calling: but the parent must needs resolve that his child shall grow up into honesty, industry, courage, and the other indispensable elements Of character.

Excerpt from The Essentials of Character: A Practical Study of the Aim of Moral Education
Earnest men and women everywhere are deeply concerned in the development of character in the young, and many of them, especially parents and teachers, are actively engaged in moral training. This book has been written in the belief that a clear comprehension of what really makes up human character would be one of the first and best aids to the actual worker. The whole plan and style of the work, including the selection of material, - and the omission of many things, - have been determined by this practical aim. This statement is not meant as an excuse for inaccuracy or fallacies, which I have endeavored scrupulously to avoid.
The ruling idea in my own mind throughout, and I hope in the book, is what may be called the dynamic and organic nature of character: that character springs from native impulses and tendencies in the child, which are full of power, of push and thrust, and make themselves felt; out of these original tendencies, by organization and coordination, and by enlightenment, character arises, through gradual and often imperceptible processes. Moral education, then, must always strive to make connection with these sources of power by directing the impulses of nature into the service of human ideals.

Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a philosophical study of the genesis of character, explaining the profound role that native impulses play in the formation of a person's morality. The author emphasizes that a clear understanding of these impulses and how they can be refined through cultivation is essential for caregivers and anyone influencing the growth of a child. The author demonstrates that character arises out of these impulses, through organization, coordination, and enlightenment. Consequently, moral education must strive to connect with these sources of power by directing the impulses of nature into the service of human ideals. Ultimately, the author argues that a person without character is far less than human: and a man of character is a man in the fullest sense. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331019046_0
