Abstract (2. Language): 
This study argues that although communitarians criticize liberalism as ignoring moral education of citizens and thus responsible for the current widespread problems including formal educatio-nal failure in particular and moral deterioration in general, this criticism is mistaken in reducing liberalism to its Hobbesian - instrumentalist - version and thus ignoring an alternative strand of liberalism which neither discards moral educa-tion nor endorses an instrumentalist view of society. This article analyzes Mill’s and Hume’s political theories as examples of this alternative liberalism to show that this alternative strand of liberalism does not necessarily discards moral education of citizens and recognizes the formati-ve impact of society on individuals. They perceive character education as a product of many diffe-rent institutions and practices including formal education.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu çalışma; toplulukçuların, liberalleri, vatandaş-ların moral (ahlakî) eğitimini gözardı ederek özelde formel eğitimde başarısızlık ve genelde ise ahlaki yozlaşma gibi sorunları da içeren güncel yaygın sorunlardan sorumlu tutmalarına karşın; söz konusu bu eleştirinin liberalizmi Hobbesçu –araçsal- versiyona indirgediği ve ne moral eğitimi gözardı eden ne de araçsal bir toplum görüşüne sahip olan alternatif liberalizm türünü gözardı etmesinden dolayı hatalı olduğu-nu, ileri sürmektedir. Bu çalışma, söz konusu alternatif liberalizm örnekleri olarak Mill ve Hume’un siyasal teorilerini analiz ederek, bu alternatif liberalizm türünün vatandaşların moral eğitimini ihmal etmediğini ve toplumun bireyler üzerinde şekillendirici etkisini benimsediğini ortaya koymaya çalışmaktadır. Söz konusu bu düşünürler, karakter eğitimini pek çok farklı kurumun ve formal eğitimi de içeren pratiğin bir sonucu olarak algılamaktadırlar.
