Silence Reigns! A Communitarian Critique of the Ethics of Lawrence Kohlberg.
Sigurdson, Ola
Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v41 n1 p5-13 Mar 1997
The ethics of the influential psychologist and ethicist Lawrence Kohlberg are analyzed from a communitarian perspective. Kohlberg's conception of morality is described as not as formal and universal as claimed, and it is suggested that it is, in fact, a monological ethic. (SLD)
