In order to take character education correctly, above all, the concept of In-sung(personality) must be established correctly. So far, however, the concept of character or personality is not established correctly in our society. In particular, it is a serious problem that the concept of personality and character education is hardly agreed upon in the discourse of character education. Now, in this situation, there are growing social needs to establish any generally positive promise about the personality and character education , rather than to obtain a correct answer for what is the personality and character education . But is it a problem of promise to define the concept of personality ? It is the best of author s opinions that the concept of personality must be established, through to search for the grounds of the concept personality , not to search for social consensus of that. according to this respect, this paper would be an attempt to prescribe the concept of personality in based on a clear grounds .
In this paper, the authors want to achieve is that follows. above all, In based on the proposition : ‘moral education is a sufficient condition of the character education’, authors look the means of morality , that is, the core for moral education from it s grounds. Then through to expand the means of morality , authors prescribe the concept of personality in based on a clear grounds . The approximate logical procedure is as follows. First, in Aristotel s Ethika Nikomacheia, authors confirm that morality is derived from ethos , which means is habit , define that ethos is the original grounds of the morals and personality. Then, authors define that morals are not fixed, but procedural , therefore, discuss that morals and personality take a same property in it s origin. Furthermore, authors examine that these morals are connection with imagination . So, in the end, based on Kant s Kritik der reinen Vernunft, authors set up that imagination is a priori grounds of personality .
Through the above discussion, the authors criticize as same insufficient limits that character education programs have remained to develop broadly good character . At last, In order to be able to exceed these limits, the authors present a new directions of character education as the possibility of self-understanding through imagination . |
