Description Even though individual Parents face different issues, I believe most Parents want their children to be good people who are happy in their adult lives.
About the Author Sonya Charles is associate professor in the Department of Philosophy and Comparative Religion at Cleveland State University..
In the second part, I shift my focus to consider some issues that present potential moral dilemmas for Parents and whether there are specific parental Virtues we may want to use to guide parental actions.
In the first part of this book, I consider what the basic components of Aristotle\'s theory can tell us about the project of parenting.
In other words, his motivating questions are very similar to the goals Parents have for their children.
Aristotle asks how do we become a moral person and how does that relate to leading a good life.
I propose that Aristotle\'s ethical theory (known as virtue theory) has much to say on this issue.
At first glance, we might think this question is better left to psychologists rather than philosophers.
As such a central motivating question of this book is how can Parents raise a child to be a moral and flourishing person.
