The Moral Judgment of the Child

The Moral Judgment of the Child, written by renowned Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget, is a seminal work in the field of developmental psychology. In this book, Piaget explores the moral development of children, arguing that children's moral reasoning evolves over time as they gain a deeper understanding of the world around them.The book is divided into two parts. In the first part, Piaget presents his theory of moral development, outlining the stages that children go through as they develop their moral reasoning. He argues that children's moral judgments are initially based on a simple sense of obedience to authority, but as they grow and gain more experience, they begin to develop more nuanced and complex moral reasoning.In the second part of the book, Piaget presents a series of experiments that he conducted with children to test his theory of moral development. These experiments involved presenting children with moral dilemmas and observing how they responded. Through these experiments, Piaget was able to identify the different stages of moral development that children go through and the types of reasoning that they use at each stage.This large print edition of The Moral Judgment of the Child is designed to make the book more accessible to those with visual impairments or reading difficulties.
