| Abstract: | This paper examines in detail the distinctive features of Kierkegaard’s notion of subjectivity in an attempt to find a new
theoretical formulation of moral education; that is, a self-regarding—as opposed to an other-regarding—ethics of moral education.
Heavily relying upon an existentialist line of ethical questioning, my aspiration underlying this investigation is not presumptuous
in claiming that the self-regarding approach to moral education can—or should—compensate the other-regarding one. For it reveals
an ethically non-trivial aspect of human subjectivity which has been overlooked by dominant approaches to moral education,
like the moral reasoning and care-ethics models, in such a way as to suggest a way of diagnosing the moral predicament in
the contemporary (Korean) society. |
