Detailed Explanation
Understanding Kohlberg's Post-Conventional Morality
In Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development, the Post-Conventional Morality level represents the highest stage of moral reasoning, typically emerging in late adolescence or adulthood.
- Stage 5 (Social Contract and Individual Rights): Individuals view laws as flexible social contracts rather than rigid edicts. Rules can and should be changed if they do not promote the greatest good for the greatest number.
- Stage 6 (Universal Ethical Principles): Moral reasoning is based on self-chosen abstract ethical principles that emphasize justice, human rights, and human dignity. Individuals follow their conscience, even if it conflicts with existing laws.
Analysis of Options:
- Option (a) describes the conventional 'Law and Order' orientation.
- Option (b) accurately describes the advanced stages of post-conventional morality.
- Option (c) refers to the conventional level of moral development.
- Option (d) describes the pre-conventional level.
Therefore, Option (b) is the correct and most comprehensive choice.
