Detailed Explanation
Detailed Analysis of Kohlberg's Stages 4 and 5
In Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development:
- Stage 4 (Authority and Social Order-Maintaining Orientation): Belongs to the conventional level. Individuals view laws as absolute and essential for maintaining societal order, fulfilling duties, and respecting authority.
- Stage 5 (Social Contract and Individual Rights Orientation): Belongs to the post-conventional level. Laws are not viewed as rigid dogmas but as flexible social contracts created through democratic consensus, which can and should be modified if they violate fundamental human rights or societal welfare.
Therefore, option A accurately captures the philosophical distinction between viewing laws as absolute social duties versus mutable social contracts.
