Education as a Positional Good.

Hollis, Martin

Journal of Philosophy of Education, v16 n2 p235-44 1982

Draws an analogy between preparing students for a work world and for a moral world. Education should nurture the talent, culture, and virtue of students with the understanding that legitimate, conditional tests of these attributes exist in the external world. (KC)
