Abstract
Moral Education became a special subject and it has been recognized as a good opportunity to rethink that what Moral education in Japan should be. However, little attention has been given to the way of evaluating students in Moral education classes, focusing on their relations themselves. The problem we have to consider is how we can evaluate communication in Moral education from the perspective of the relations between the self and others. We discuss Judith Butler’s “condemn”, “account” and “substitution”, and present the possibility of a new point of view on the issue of evaluating students in Moral education.
At first, we will see the problem of subjectivation from the discussion of Butler’s “evaluation”, and describe the importance of “account”, which one performs for, to, even on an other in order to resist “condemn”. Then, through considering Lévinas’ “substitution”, we will explore “ethics” on which the one looks at others. At last, we will discuss how the practice of moral education based on “account” can be, through “Tetsugaku-souzoukatsudou”.
