Features: This book adopts a comparative approach to analyze the various elements of the moral education system, including the theory, status, functions, objectives, models, processes, content, methods, environment, evaluation, and the relationships between the subjects and objects of moral education, 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 of moral education among various countries and 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 a broader definition that includes ideological education, political education, and moral education. This book is based on the current reform and development of moral education in China, conducting systematic and in-depth comparative research, and is 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 the development of socialist spiritual civilization, and is suitable for students in relevant fields and cadres of the Party and government. The publication of this book will have a positive impact on the development of moral education in schools and ideological and political work in China.
