Abstract

It is argued with Immanuel Kant that we as human beings ought to unify ourselves as efficacious, autonomous and creative beings, and that moral education is an open-ended and never-ending process. It is also argued that we wilfully deviate from unifying ourselves in the terms mentioned above due to our imperfect rational nature. This, however, does not suggest that we should not be able to unify ourselves in the terms suggested. On the contrary, the efforts to render ourselves efficacious, autonomous and creative should remain. It seems, however, that education in present times influences children and young people to render themselves efficacious with regard to specific desired ends, as well as being loyal and morally committed to how things stand, instead of making it possible for them to unify themselves in the above-mentioned sense. Education is therefore not an open-ended and never-ending process in moral terms.
