Abstract:
This contribution describes the phenomenon of ethical illiteracy, a still poorly explored construct, concerning the inability to reflect ethically. The purpose of this paper is to give a definition, explore its origin and characteristics. The phenomenon becomes apparent from the data interpretation, in this first phase of the ongoing doctoral research Reflecting together. A socio-ethical education programme for preschool. It is one of the categories of this research. The article also aims to elucidate the research’s methodological choices, which are also ethically oriented (Bianchi, 2019). After analysing the interconnections among Constructivist Grounded Theory (Charmaz, 2014), the relevant epistemology (socio-constructivism and complexity theories), and the research focus (the relationship between education and ethics), we will then delve into the characteristics of ethical illiteracy and its correlation with ethically conscious education.
