Kohlberg’s 6 Stages of Moral Development

According to @srpouts, Lawrence Kohlberg's theory claims that our development of moral reasoning happens in six stages: 1. Obedience and Punishment, 2. Self-interest 3. Interpersonal Accord and Conformity 4. Authority and maintaining social order, 5.Social Contract, 6.Universal Ethical Principles. Kohlberg claims that we reach one stage after another showing an ever-deeper understanding of moral questions. The stages themselves are structured in three levels: Pre-Conventional, Conventional, and Post-Conventional.
