Cultural Invariance and the Denial of Moral Regression: A Critique of Piaget and Kohlberg.
Partington, Geoffrey
International Journal of Social Education, v11 n2 p105-19 Fall-Win 1996-1997
Offers a trenchant critique of Jean Piaget and Lawrence Kohlberg, both of whom claimed to identify stages in moral development that are "universal, culturally invariant, and nonregressive." Explains some inadequacies in these theories, which have become so influential in education, and offers suggestions for further investigation. (MJP)
