ABSTRACT
Aristotle attempts to combine both, but was led into a paradox about moral education which resulted from his attempt to stress the role both of reason and of habit. The business of moral education consists largely in initiating people into the 'language' so that they can use it in an autonomous manner. A rational code of behaviour and the 'language' of a variety of activities are beyond the grasp of young children, they can and must enter the palace of Reason through the courtyard of Habit and Tradition. This chapter indented both to combine these habit, tradition and intellectual training emphases in moral education and to deal with the resulting paradox. Aristotle tried to resolve the theoretical paradox of moral education in a theoretical manner. The formation of sound moral habits in respect of, for instance, what Aristotle has are basic moral rules well be a necessary condition of rational morality.
