This research-based book on morality teaching offers valuable applications for educational practice, receiving high praise from experts in the field. It emphasizes that moral competence, a fundamental aspect of our humanity, can be cultivated through effective educational strategies. The author argues for the necessity of developing a new science of moral behavior and education to address timeless questions about morality's nature, origin, and how it can be taught. The book is structured in two parts: the first presents a novel approach to studying morality, supported by Lind's research and that of other scholars. The second part introduces the Konstanz Method of Dilemma Discussion (KMDD), a method applicable across ages and cultures for teaching morality sustainably. Additionally, it discusses the Just Community method for fostering democratic community building. Dr. Georg Lind, who has a long-standing interest in morality stemming from his adolescent reflections on historical atrocities, aims to find ways to prevent such events and promote peace and democracy. His extensive academic background includes positions at the University of Konstanz and guest lectures worldwide. This work is a significant contribution to both psychological research and educational instruction, advocating for a hands-on, empirical approach to moral education.
