This paper explores the possibility of reconstructing a theory of moral education in a pluralistic society, on the basis of the discourse ethics of Jürgen Habermas. Toward this end the author examines the “moral point of view” in discourse ethics in order to grasp clearly the idea of morality as the rational procedure of conflict adjudication.Discourse ethics represents an attempt to elucidate the rational basis of consensus formation on moral problems through practical discourse. From the universalistic structure of moralpractical discourse, Habermas sheds new light on the abstractive and co-operative features of the point of view of morality.However, his attempt has given rise to much debate in moral theory. This paper deals with the following issues; first, the conflict between ethics of justice and ethics of care, then, second, the differentiation of justice from good life, and lastly, the elimination of the fruitfulness of plurality by the consensus-focused discourse.By identifying the moral point of view with impersonal perspectives that regulate fair social co-operation in the public sphere, Habermas strives on the one hand, to retrieve the critical power of morality against reality, and, on the other hand, to reconcile the fragility of the human beings as individuated, through socialization.This dual function of morality indicates that moral education has to face two tasks at once. Namely, moral education has to provide children with the moral basis in multicultural society by both developing a moral point of view as a transcendental perspective and by nurturing practical reason, or phronesis, which will pave the way for reconstructing the life-world permeated with justice and solidarity.

Pro und Kontra der Steiner-Pädagogik entspringt im allgemeinen aus dem Problem der Gültigkeit der anthroposophischen Erkenntnistheorie als deren Grundlage. Aber das Problem bleibt heute von Anfang bis zum Ende oberflächlich und unfruchtbare Diskussion, weil es vom jeweiligen theoretischen Standpunkt-besonders der erfahrungswissenschaftlichen Erziehungswissenschaft und Anthroposophie usw.-aus angegangen wird.Diese Abhandlung richtet sich daher auf die anthroposophische Erkenntnistheorie-insbesondere auf den Hintergrund ihrer Entstehung und ihere Gedankenstruktur-als den Schlüssel zur Lösung der Polemik urn die Steiner-Pädagogik und will damit zur Klärung eines so komplizierten Ploblems urn die Steiner-Pädagogik beitragen.Als Folge der obigen Betrachtung wird sich ein neuer Aspekt zum Verstandnis der Steiner-Pädagogik zeigen-Erkenntnis als die Verwandlung des Subjekts nach der Metamorphose-Theorie; Erkenntins, die mit dem Sein verbindet; Billigung des methodologischen Pluralismus.

This paper attempts to examine how Montessori understood children in the context of eugenics from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. Based on that examination, this paper also studies why the scientist Montessori became an educator.In the context of eugenics, scientists generally agreed to the recapitulation theory. They Believed that people's physical sizes and shapes correlated with their levels of morality. They also believed that it was possible to judge the levels of the morality of people by measuring their bodily degenerations. This belief led the scientists to the reform of society. In fact, many of social reforms were performed through sterilizations and eugenic marriages.Montessori also agreed to the recapitulation theory. She thought that it was possible to judge the levels of morality of children by measuring their bodily degenerations. However, she did not intend to reform society by sterilizations. She considered degenerations of children as diseases that can be healed and intended to reform society by treating or improving children, as the Italian school in Anthropology did. Montessori's recognition of the curability in children led her from a scientist to an educator.
