| Summary: | This article examines two contradictory patterns of reasoning that share the same (minor) premise that rival religious perspectives can authorise rationally non-negotiable moral principles. The first argument goes against separate religious or other culturally grounded moral education, because this would lead to indoctrination. The second argument indicates the impossibility of a common moral education, because moral perspectives are internally related to religious view-points. The author challenges both arguments on the grounds that religious perspectives need not lead to a non-rational approach to moral education. |
