ABSTRACT
There have been numerous suggestions in the academic literature that Kohlberg’s approach to morality was so fundamentally wrong-headed and flawed that researchers in morality are better off starting anew. We disagree. Our neo-Kohlbergian approach contends that Kohlberg’s theory is still fruitful-although some problems warrant modification. In chapter 1, we present a condensed overview of our neo-Kohlbergian approach without developing the arguments for the points, and without citing evidence. The development of our argument is the burden of this whole book; in this chapter, we only present the gist of our approach.
