Features: This book employs a comparative approach to analyze the various elements of the moral education system, including its theories, status, functions, objectives, models, processes, content, methods, environment, evaluation, and the relationships between its subjects and objects, all organized by thematic comparisons. Within these thematic comparisons, both longitudinal and horizontal comparisons are integrated, encompassing comparisons of moral education across different eras—ancient, medieval, modern, contemporary—as well as comparisons among various countries or regions, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, and Singapore. The moral education studied in this book is not (narrow) moral education, or what is commonly referred to as moral education, but rather (broad) moral education, which includes ideological education, political education, and moral education. This book is based on the current reform and development of moral education in China and conducts systematic and in-depth comparative research, characterized by its timeliness, theoretical depth, and practical applicability. It is beneficial for advancing the construction of ideological and political education programs, promoting quality education and socialist spiritual civilization, and serves as a valuable resource for students in related fields and for government officials. The publication of this book is expected to play a positive role in advancing moral education in schools and ideological and political work in China.
