本文以在加拿大多伦多市一大郊区开发的一个研究项目为案例,批评了北美“品德教育”的某些方面是怎样对维持一个健康的自由主义民主社会造成危害的。作为这种批评之基础的假设认为,把自由主义的动机作为一种政治理论确定下来,并且认为这种动机就表现在民主的原则和实践中,是为了解决生活在同一社会中的人们之间的(几种)冲突,而且要做到这一点,只要把公民的角色分化出来,按照这个目的进行建构即可。以此为抓手,本文把关注的焦点集中在这种观点的危险性上,认为这种观点无法区分好人和好公民这两个概念,尤其是在文化多元主义已经深入人心的背景中。
This article, based on a case study of a research project developed in a large suburb of Toronto, Canada, criticizes how certain aspects of “moral education” in North America are harming the maintenance of a healthy, liberal democracy. The assumptions on which this criticism is based suggest that the motivation for liberalism was established as a political theory and that such motivation was manifested in the principles and practices of democracy in order to address the issue of the relationship between the people living in the same society (Several) clashes, and to do this, as long as the division of the role of citizenship, in accordance with this purpose can be constructed. Taking this as a starting point, this article focuses its attention on the dangers of this view, arguing that such a concept can not distinguish between good and good citizens, especially in the context of cultural pluralism being deeply rooted in the human mind.
