ABSTRACT
The suggestion of this chapter is that the logic and power of self-interest should be harnessed to achieve a consensus among young people about a broad set of principles and values. Such a set of values may be thoroughly secular in derivation, but in no way excludes an ethic of duty or religious obligation. Further, even a morality based on self-interest quickly moves to other regarding principles, as will be shown. Thus, self-interest is far from being an enemy of a more conventional way of thinking morally.
