Moral Development and the Social Environment

Chapters on Moral Dilemmas

The chapters in this volume are about moral dilemmas in two senses. First, the authors focus on dilemmas, both real and hypothetical, which require moral judgements. The Heinz-Dilemma part of Kohlberg's scoring systems is used as a point for level of moral development.

There is also a second sense, as those who study moral reasoning find themselves in a dilemma as they attempt to integrate information from the domains of philosophy and psychology.
