Sommario/riassunto

The Schooled Heart addresses a basic question about the nature of the



university: should moral education figure among the university's purposes? This volume offers an affirmative response to that question. A central purpose of the university is the moral formation of students-what Beaty and Henry call the schooling of the heart.
