ABSTRACT
I want to proceed fairly briskly to a practical question, ‘How do you do values education in a context of plural cultures?’ I therefore start by defining what I mean by valuing and by educating. I make no claim that these definitions are the only possible ones. On the contrary, in a multicultural world, I welcome plural definitions of such words. I favour competition between plural perspectives (networks of values and beliefs) but, within any one perspective, at any one time, it is desirable to be clear about meanings of words. This requires that, for now, I adopt and declare singular meanings for key words.
