Publisher's Synopsis

""The Moral Judgment of the Child"" is a classic work by Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget. In this book, Piaget presents his groundbreaking research on the development of moral reasoning in children. He argues that children's moral judgments are not simply a matter of following rules, but rather reflect their understanding of the world and their own experiences. Piaget describes the stages of moral development that children go through, from the heteronomous stage where rules are seen as fixed and imposed by authority figures, to the autonomous stage where children develop their own moral principles based on their own reasoning. He also discusses the role of social interaction and cultural values in shaping children's moral development. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the psychology of moral reasoning and the development of children's moral values.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
