Abstract
This chapter analyses the key points of an interiorised moral education which is more incisive than a theoretical education or one based on norms, or only focused on training the behaviour.
In recent years, remarkable works about emotional intelligence and character education have been disseminated and have significantly improved our contemporary understanding of moral education. However, the challenge of internalised morality remains. Something else is still needed: a moral education from the inner subject, an education that teaches all agents to tend towards the good from a basis of freedom and enjoyment.
