Abstract

Looking at the individual and social dimensions of human life shows that human's have never been able to live in absence of ethics and moral education at any period of history. One of the philosophers who, whit a view of the contemporary world condition, has deeply scrutinized the issues of morality, was Karl Popper. In this article, which reflects an analytic approach, popper's epistemological theory' especially his critical rationality, which is imbued with ethical insights' has been examined to derive implications for ethical education. These implications involve principles such as "equality of humans in knowledge and values," "scientific modesty", "critical dialogue and debate" and "moral autonomy". Educational-moral strategies derived from these principles can be considered by educators who want to advance teaching process with regard to the principles of moral education.
