ABSTRACT

While countless theoreticians and practitioners have been influenced by Kohlberg’s publications, the major contributions to moral development and education have been made by individuals whose work brought them into personal contact with Kohlberg. Of this group, a substantial proportion met Kohlberg in the context of their graduate and postgraduate work, and many of the excerpts in the following pages are from people to whom Kohlberg had been either a formal or informal dissertation adviser. A small but not insignificant number of people met Kohlberg through students they had in common. Some became colleagues through school intervention projects. The smallest number, like myself, had no strong “academic claim” for requesting an appointment with Kohlberg, but persevered against considerable odds.
