About the Author
Lawrence Kohlberg was a pioneering psychologist whose research transformed our understanding of moral development across the human lifespan. Drawing on cognitive-developmental theory, he proposed that individuals progress through distinct stages of moral reasoning, each building upon the last in increasingly sophisticated ways. His influential studies, conducted with children and adults alike, illuminated how concepts of justice, rights, and ethical responsibility evolve with age and experience. Kohlberg’s work bridged philosophy and psychology, offering educators and clinicians practical frameworks for fostering moral growth. His legacy endures in contemporary discussions of character education, ethical leadership, and the interplay between cognition and values.
