Abstract
This article is the second of a two-part investigation, the first part of which
was published in Ethics and Education, vol. 5, issue 2, 2010, under the title
‘Preface to an ethics of education as a practice in its own right’. Although it
builds on the arguments of that ‘preface’, this second part of the
investigation can be read as a stand-alone essay. It begins with a brief
review of a new subordination of educational practice achieved by a neoliberal
tenor in international educational reforms in recent decades in
Western societies. The practical context for the essay however is that failure
of many of these reforms, like the failure of neo-liberal dominance in socioeconomic
policy, has given rise to emergent opportunities where inspirations
for educational debate and policy-making are concerned. Arguing for
the uptake of such opportunity, the ethical tenor of education as a practice
in its own right is explored under four headings: (1) review and clarification
of the inherent purposes of education as a practice; (2) investigation of
educationally productive pathways that are characteristic of education as a
practice in its own right; (3) elucidation of a recognisable family of virtues
that arise from that practice itself; (4) exploration of the kinds of
relationships through which these virtues, and their educational fruits,
are nourished.
