The Aretaic Domain and Its Relation to the Deontic Domain in Moral Reasoning.
Lourenco, Orlando
New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, n89 p47-61 Fall 2000
Investigates the ways in which young adults make judgments about two contrasting kinds of rights: moral worthiness (the aretaic) and moral obligation (the deontic), reflecting on how thinking in these areas may be coordinated with responsibility judgments and behavior. Discusses what might be gained if the aretaic domain were taken into account in the study of moral development. (JPB)
