On Education: The First Education.
West, Thomas G.
Improving College and University Teaching, v28 n2 p61-66 Spr 1980
This second essay in a three-part series addresses what is labeled "first education"--education for the formation of character. The author argues that the attempt of contemporary social science to achieve a value-free orientation in human life can be questioned and that teachers should articulate a philosophic defense of moral training.
