ABSTRACT
KITA is a four-step procedure for applying golden-rule (GR) wisely. KICO's parts are broader than KITA's; so KICO sees many kinds of knowledge as important to moral rationality. KITA is a specific case of the general rationality KICO. Rational moral thinking depends on identifiable skills, which do better or worse, but never perfectly. People who better satisfy the rationality conditions tend to agree more on their moral beliefs; but they may still disagree on details. KICO and GR narrow the range of acceptable views, but they may not bring complete agreement. In societies where people were brought up to have pro-slavery moral intuitions, GR in many cases provoked protests against slavery. Adults, who are assumed to know the moral rules, teach these to children by personal example, verbal instruction, praise-blame, and reward-punishment. The traditional approach to moral education ignores method.
