Dispositions, Emotions, Episodes and the Autonomous Learner.
Wesson, Anthony J.
Journal of Educational Thought, v20 n1 p31-36 Apr 1986
Explores the relationship between dispositions (i.e., continuities of inclinations and habits), episodic behavior, emotions, and desires; and the development of moral autonomy. Argues that autonomy requires a settled disposition toward the good. Contrasts theories of autonomy based on wants/desires and on ideals. (AYC)
