ABSTRACT
The study of 'character' is a flourishing branch of psychology. A re-examination of the concept of 'character' permits a fruitful cross-fertilisation between some modern developments in psychology and philosophy. The concept of 'character' to point to the many ambiguities which beset discussions of moral education in general and the training of character. The three ways of speaking of 'Character' such as a non-committal way of a man's character, having a type of character, and having character. The way of speaking of 'character', some distinctive pattern of traits is indicated or some distinctive style in which the traits are exhibited. Character-traits, in the first and non-committal sense of character, could be merely the imprint of the social code on a man. The child's 'character' emerges as the particular style of rule-following which Freud develops, not only rules which govern the behaviour of the individual but there also be 'writ small' legislative, judicial and executive functions in relation.
