11Ethical potentialities on physical education as a vehicle for ethical education through sportsRecerca.Revista de Pensament I Anàlisi 18 29-48. 2016.Sports occupy an interesting ethical space from a pedagogic point of view, being included in physical education curricula in most Western countries.

This essay’s aim is to argue the extent to which the ethical potential of physical education can embrace more than functional purposes, or whether that will be neglected in…Read more

6Introduction: Whose Ethics, Which Research?Journal of Philosophy of Education 35 (3): 309-327. 2001.When Richard Peters wrote Ethics and Education (1966) he could scarcely have imagined the revolutions in ethics that have since occurred.
