This work was originally issued as a two-volume set, published in
1987 and 1988. It constitutes the definitive presentation of the
system of classifying moral judgment built up by Lawrence Kohlberg
and his associates over a period of twenty years. Researchers in
human development and education around the world, many of whom have
worked with interim versions of the system - indeed, all those
seriously interested in understanding the development of moral
judgment - will find it a useful and accessible resource. Volume 1
reviews Kohlberg's stage theory, and the large body of research on
the significance and utility of his moral stages. Issues of
reliability and validity are addressed. The volume ends with
detailed instructions for using the reference sections, which are
presented in volume 2.

equivalent forms of Kohlberg's moral judgment interview.
"Lawrence Kohlberg's Approach to Moral Education" presents what the
late Lawrence Kohlberg regarded as the definitive statement of his
educational theory. Addressing the sociology and social psychology
of schooling, the authors propose that school culture become the
center of moral education and research. They discuss how schools
can develop as just and cohesive communities by involving students
in democracy, and they focus on the moral decisions teachers and
students face as they democratically resolve problems. As the
authors put it: .,."we propose an educational renewal of our
democratic society.... We have attempted to establish schools that
do more than just teach about democratic citizenship, that are
themselves democratic societies."
In recent years, researchers have begun to focus attention on
postformal thought--the development of thought in late adolescence
and adulthood--questioning Piaget's early terminus of structural
development in adolescence. This volume brings together the works
of distinguished authors in the field of postformal-operational
cognitive, social, and perceptual development to examine the models
and methodology used to investigate postformal thought. The
contributors represent the variety of approaches that characterize
this body of research, while, at the same time, seeking to unify
this diverse literature with a common language. An ideal text for
advanced courses in adult development, this volume is also a
primary reference for developmental and educational psychologists
and students working in the fields of cognitive development,
adolescent and adult development, and lifespan development. Divided
into four parts, the volume begins by examining both Piagetian and
nonstructural models of adult cognitive development, considering
them in light of current research developments. Individual papers
address models of equilibrium, knowledge, reflective judgment,
ego-development, and consciousness. In Part II, the contributors
discuss the measurement and comparison of cognitive development in
adults, exploring such topics as construct validity and theories of
adult development, the structural and developmental relations
between formal and postformal capacities, and the relationship
between Piagetian and Kohlbergian stages. The third section
assesses the research and theory of adult reasoning in the moral
domain, while the concluding chapter investigates critical
evaluations of postformal research.Numerous tables and figures
enhance the discussions.
