"Education for Citizenship" and the New Moral World of Robert Owen.
McLaren, David J.
Scottish Educational Review, v32 n2 p107-17 Nov 2000
Examines the relationship between education and citizenship in the quest for a moral "new world order" in two Scottish communitarian villages established by social reformer Robert Owen in the early 1800s. Draws parallels to current debates, focusing on Owen's rhetoric about justice and equality while maintaining paternalistic authority and his lack of practical details. (Contains 30 references.) (SV)
