Abstract

This article introduces the concepts of moral development, developmental psychology, and character development. It begins by providing an overview of the history of these concepts, focusing on ancient philosophy and the philosophy of the Enlightenment. It then discusses in more detail a leading theory of moral development and objections that have been made against it. It concludes with some suggestions regarding how we might expect theories of moral development to evolve from those objections.
