Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 2003.

This project argues that public school classroom curricula should include an ethical education that explores a diversity of ethical frameworks, many of which will be informed by religion. All of us have ethical frameworks: they shape our perspectives not only on moral obligation but also our notions of what makes a full and meaningful life. These frameworks are central to our personal identity, and I contend that the foundational societal good of mutual respect requires that we seek to understand others' ethical frameworks when they conflict with our own.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This project argues that public school classroom curricula should include an ethical education that explores a diversity of ethical frameworks, many of which will be informed by religion. All of us have ethical frameworks: they shape our perspectives not only on moral obligation but also our notions of what makes a full and meaningful life. These frameworks are central to our personal identity, and I contend that the foundational societal good of mutual respect requires that we seek to understand others' ethical frameworks when they conflict with our own.
520 $a Civic virtue involves learning how to talk together across these ethical differences; this includes not only gaining understanding but also deliberating respectfully about how we are to live together in spite of our ethical disagreements. Because U.S. society includes such wide ethical diversity, this civic virtue---as a commitment and a developing set of skills---should be fostered in our public school classrooms. Since religion has been and remains a prime source of ethical belief and controversy, our public schools must help students learn how to engage thoughtfully with this diversity if we are to live in mutual respect as citizens.
520 $a I begin with a historical analysis of ethical education in the United States and claim that such efforts have been largely a failure: first by propagating a singular, religious-ethical framework and now by neglecting the exploration of religiously-informed ethical beliefs almost entirely. Then, after developing the philosophical argument sketched above, I advocate and describe a process of ethical dialogue that seeks to understand diverse ethical frameworks as well as deliberate respectfully about how we can live together in spite of those inevitable disagreements.
520 $a At the heart of this process is a greater willingness to engage with a diversity of (often religious) ethical frameworks even while recognizing that our arguments about how to live together need to honor the principle of reasonable disagreement within the political realm. That is, when we make decisions backed by the power of the state, civic virtue holds us to a stricter standard of justification and urges greater compromise, even if our private convictions remain unswayed.
