| Summary: | This paper consists of a series of interrelated observations and reflections on the nature of ethics and the peculiarities of ethical learning and teaching. Against the widespread tendency to view ethical formation primarily as the direct communication of ethical and/or empirical propositional knowledge, attention is given here to a very different way of transmitting ethical content, exemplified by the Biblical story of Nathan and David in 2 Samuel 12. In paying close attention to Nathan's intricate way of proceeding, which is interpreted as a masterpiece of „indirect communication“ in Kierkegaard's sense, a view of ethical learning emerges in which narratives, emotions, and so-called „thick concepts“ play a crucial role. The importance of this type of ethical learning, not reducible to the transmission of some bit of propositional knowledge, is obliterated by an overly intellectualist picture of ethical formation. |
