RT Article T1 The moral lives of children: The thought of Robert Coles JF Journal of religion and health VO 29 IS 4 SP 303 OP 307 A1 Lageman, August G. LA English PB Springer Science + Business Media B. V. YR 1990 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1669104591 AB Robert Coles combines the insights of literature with the resources of medicine and psychiatry in order to understand and bring healing to people. Using the distinction between character and personality, Coles explores the active moral lives of children. To Coles, the moral purpose of the family is to develop character. Coles's contribution is not a new theoretical approach; rather, it is a literary documentary perspective that seeks to awaken and sensitize our moral imaginations.
