TL;DRAbstract

Synopsis: Without a single ultimate end towards which human persons ought to direct their choices, virtues like courage, justice, self-control, patience, affability, self-sacrifice, chastity, fidelity, etc., will mean different things to different people. Character education in a post-modern culture is akin to urging a person to drive, but without saying where, or providing shoes for a person with no legs, or sailing without a compass.
