Who is Who

This Who is Who research section provides preliminary access to a wide range of individuals who are important for moral education and development. They include individuals from many centuries past as well as those more recently deceased. Some are famous individuals whose example may be regarded are morally imitable or quite the opposite. Others during their lives were professionally engaged in Moral Education.  

The section contains an initial list of some 550 individuals. This is then followed by the individual entries on each of them alphabetically. They can be accessed either by clicking on the name in the initial list, by scrolling down and through the whole collection, or using the portal search facility. 

Although the exemplar's individual significance is often not confined to any one sphere, they have been given an indicative category as representing their importance for Moral Education: CURRICULUM, LITERATURE, PHILOSOPHY, POLITICS, RELIGION, AND SOCIAL SCIENCE. Their historical and geographical spread are reminders that the challenges of Moral Education and the resources for it are not new, nor are they addressed only in one national or cultural tradition.

The commended links for each individual usually include biographical overviews and, where applicable, their writings. These have been selected for quality and cost-free access as on-line entry points and as incentives for follow-up library reading and/or book purchase. They do not include a link to Wikipedia entries since these are readily available without prompting from here.

The compilation process has been protracted. The commended hotlinks will be continually monitored and corrected for breaks and site migrations. Further suggestions for links will always be welcome along with the names of other individuals (especially female identifying people) for inclusion.

As with the Dictionary and Thesaurus research section, this Who is Who section invites amendments and additions. Its composition is presently dominated by  male and western-world figures. Therefore at the bottom of the section there is a suggestion form which can be completed with amendments or additions, and subsequently sent in. These will be considered for uploading by the editorial team.
