Book synopsis

Moral and justice development Lawrence Kohlberg devised a developmental theory of morality, i.e. justice, which is also of great importance for education. Detlef Garz presents an introduction to Lawrence Kohlberg's central work; a must read for students and teachers in education, psychology, sociology and philosophy. Lawrence Kohlberg (1927-1987) was one of the key figures in generating theories of human development. Follow - ing James Mark Baldwin and Jean Piaget, he designed a research program in order to understand moral development - which he viewed as justice development -, during the life-span. With the help of dilemma-interviews and a comprehensive scoring manual, Kohlberg looked into the stage of development and the moral point of view of children, adolescents and adults both in the Unit - ed States and abroad. Related herewith, he discussed central topics, such as the relationship between judgment and action, the transnational universality of moral development, and gender-related morality. "This is a small but excellently written book. It perfectly serves two purposes at the same time: It gives a readable and comprehensive introduction to Larry Kohlberg's life and work for those who are unfamiliar with this approach, and it sharpens the eyes for those who are in the 'moral development and education business'." Dr. Wolfgang Althof, Teresa M. Fischer Professor of Citizenship Education University of Missouri - St. Louis College of Education St. Louis, MO
