From Athens to Watergate: Moral Education in a Just Society.

Kohlberg, Lawrence

Curriculum Review, v18 n1 p8-11 Feb 1979

In this excerpt from his forward to "Readings in Moral Education," Dr. Kohlberg asserts that cognitive-developmental moral education goes back to Socrates, but that the demand for it today stems from Watergate and My Lai--a demand that the United States return to its original principles of justice.
