<strong>Knowledge, Ethics, Education, Research</strong>

Abstract

This article reflects on the relations between knowledge, ethics, and education. Its theme emphasizes the necessity of examining the historical background of these relations. This theme – knowledge, ethics, education, research - goes back to debates held in academia, in conferences, and in schools. While it is certainly necessary to research the possible reasons why the relationship between ethics and education has been ignored in the past, it will also be very worthwhile to delve into the current motivation to recognize it and to incorporate it in scholarly debates at conferences and in theoretical development. The Knowledge-Ethics-Education theme, when linked with the questioning by social movements concerning the recognition of differences of nature and opinion, and of care-giving, acquires challenging dimensions for educational thought and action, and for research and theory.
