Kohlberg's Post-Conventional Morality
According to Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development, the sixth and final stage of 'Post-Conventional Morality' is termed 'Universal Ethical Principle Orientation'.
- At this stage, individuals are guided by self-chosen ethical principles (such as justice, human rights, and equality) that transcend external laws or social agreements.
