Celestial Navigation with a Moral Compass: Setting an Ethical Course at the United States Naval Academy Spotlight on Aine Donovan

The moral education of military leaders in service academies was traditionally viewed as an integral aspect of effective military training. The method used at the United States Naval Academy relied upon a Kantian notion of principle-based reasoning. Yet as we enter the twenty-first century this model does not adequately address the needs of a mixed-gender peacekeeping force. The model that I propose relies on the acceptance of duty and obedience (i.e., justice) and the cultivation of reflective concern for individual choice and responsibility (i.e., caring). The practical manifestation of this balance is demonstrated through the explanation and justification of the case study approach to moral reasoning, role of mentoring, and the cultivation of moral sentiments. The latter goal of emotional attachment to moral decision making is, perhaps, the most important element to the current program at USNA. Professor Donovan was contacted about this research.
