ABSTRACT
Michael made the above statements when he was about four-and-a-half. They were his articulation of core dispositions in his ethical identity. In previous chapters I examined how particular interactions in and around child-adult play supported ethical action and contemplation. In this chapter I consider the formation of Michael’s ethical identity from early childhood into young adulthood. I have shown how Michael authored meaning and authored possible selves and identities. Now I analyze how Michael’s ethical identity was co-authored in and around our pretend play as I also discuss the formation of my own ethical identity.
