Is There Moral Giftedness?
Hague, William J.
Gifted Education International, v12 n3 p170-74 1998
Describes higher levels of morality by contrasting Kohlber's Cognitive Developmentalism and Dabrowski's Positive Disintegration. It argues that far from being a gift, high-level morality is a function of the whole person. It is something chosen and striven for, and the result of compassion and some kind of disintegration.
