This well-worn copy of “Moral Development” by William Kay is a testament to the enduring interest in the philosophical and psychological underpinnings of ethics. Originally published in 1969, this seminal work explores the cognitive and emotional processes that shape our moral reasoning and decision-making. Kay’s groundbreaking research drew upon the theories of Jean Piaget and Lawrence Kohlberg, pioneers in the study of moral development in children and adolescents. Through insightful case studies and rigorous analysis, Kay examines the complex interplay between cognitive abilities, social experiences, and moral judgments. This former library copy bears the marks of its well-traveled history, from the dings and tears on the hardcover to the absence of a dust jacket. Yet, its clean pages and secure binding invite readers to delve into Kay’s influential work, which continues to inform contemporary debates on moral education, ethical decision-making, and the role of empathy in moral development.
