Moral Authority and the Antinomies of Moral Theory: Francis Wayland and Nineteenth-Century Moral Education.

Hogan, David

Educational Theory, v40 n1 p95-119 Win 1990

Wayland wrote what is arguably the most influential nineteenth-century moral philosophy text. This article examines the Calvinist tradition, from which Wayland diverged; explores his views as they relate to the home and school; and describes his impact on the formation of the middle class of his day.
