西方公民德性教育思想的发展历程大致可以分为四个阶段,即:古典公民德性教育思想阶段、古典公民德性教育思想的转型阶段、现代公民德性教育思想阶段和当代公民德性教育思想阶段。在西方公民德性教育思想发展的不同阶段,公民德性教育的核心理念和具体内容并不完全相同。回顾和反思西方公民德性教育思想演变的历史,对于我们把握西方公民德性教育思想的发展历程和建构我们国家的公民德性教育都有着重要的意义。 The course of the development of western citizens’ virtue education can be divided into four stages: the stage of classical citizen’s virtue education, the transition stage of classical citizen’s virtue education, the stage of modern citizen’s virtue education and the contemporary citizen’s virtue education Thought stage. At different stages of the development of western citizen’s moral education, the core concept and content of citizen’s virtue education are not exactly the same. Reviewing and reflecting on the history of the evolvement of western citizens’ morality education ideas is of great significance for us to grasp the development course of the western citizen’s moral education and to construct the citizen’s morality education in our country.
