Josep Maria Puig is one of the leading international scholars in Moral Education. Throughout his academic and personal trajectory, moral education occupied a central place in his researches, reflections, concerns, teaching and way of living. His writings and investigations in Catalan, Spanish and Portuguese, converted him in one of the main theoretical references in Latin America for the studies of the human morality. Cited in more than 800 theses and articles in Brazil, his work has exerted and still exerts great influence in a whole generation of Brazilian researchers. In the interview that follows, beyond the academic trajectory of Professor Puig, we present in this text his reflections on moral education in different dimensions: theoretical, practical, political, social and personal. As it could not fail to be, in times of people talking about “no-party schools”, Puig also discusses the legacy of Paulo Freire and the influence that exerted in his work. These are themes that mobilize current concerns, and it is of great relevance for the ethical and moral development of the future generations.
