Abstract
Abstract In this paper a reinterpretation of G.E. Moore's distinction between two senses of ‘ought’ leads to the exposure of a strong connection between the education of the emotions and moral education such that the former is seen to be partly constitutive of the latter. I argue that what Moore calls ‘Rules of Feeling’, which inculcate a moral ideal, the attainment of which is not directly within the power of our wills, could on the contrary, be either interpreted as a shorthand way of expressing ‘Rules of Duty’ or sui generis but genuinely prescriptive and connected with the interests of other people. Thus moral education will be concerned with right feeling as well as with right action. In addition I trace out the implications of this reinterpretation for multiracial education, (a field becoming of increasing interest to educationalists), and conclude that these three important aspects of education are logically inextricably connected.
