Personal Identity and Education for the Desirable.
Nisan, Mordecai
Journal of Moral Education, v25 n1 p75-83 Mar 1996
Explores moral motivation grounded in the desire to maintain and express one's personal identity as a good person. Maintains that identity-based motivation, oriented towards the desirable rather than an instrumentalist approach, encourages a pluralistic and tolerant view of other norms. Discusses implications for moral education. (MJP)
