The Moral Functioning of Mature Adults and the Possibility of Fair Moral Reasoning
"I should really free my slaves, all two hundred of them. How could I not do that, when I deeply believe, and wrote, that slavery is the worst offence against human nature? Am I really such a hypocrite, as the British accuse all of us of being? But how can I take this step by myself, on my own, individually? Perhaps black slaves are not inferior to us Whites, I'm not sure. But certainly they are not ready to independently manage their own life. D…

Adolescence and Formal Operations
The relations between the development of formal operations and the development of the adolescent personality, as hypothesized by Inhelder and Piaget, were analyzed. The concept of possibility and reflectivity, it was argued, have a variety of meanings; once these meanings are examined, the logical foundation for the cognitive-developmental hypothesis disappears. There seems to be intrinsic difficulties in the attempt toextend Piaget’s operative t…

Emotions and Moral Motivation
One question in moral psychology concerns the role of emotions to motivate moral action. This question has recently become more urgent, because it is now clearer that cognitive developmental theories cannot offer a complete explanation of moral functioning. This paper suggests that emotion, as is typically understood in psychology, cannot be seen as the basis for an acceptable explanation of moral behaviour and motivation. However, it is argued t…
The Development of Identity. A Critical Analysis from the Perspective of the Self as Subject
The Sense of Self and Identity among Adolescents and Adults
This investigation pursued the study of the subjective experience of identity that was initiated in 1991 byBlasiandMilton. The conceptual categories thatwere usedto explore differences in the experience of identity correspond tofour identity modes thatpreviously had been derivedfrom a secondary analysis of the Loevinger ego development categories. This study focused on two modes, Identity Observed and Management of Identity, and was guided by two…
The Development of the Sense of Self in Adolescence
This study attempts to clarify the sense of self that may underlie the adolescent's subjective experience of identity. The initial orientation was / provided by descriptions of three different modes of experiencing identity derived from a reanalysis of Loevinger, Wessler, and Redmore's (1970) ego development categories. Our goal was to replicate by a more direct method the Loevinger‐derived descriptions. Specifically, we looked at whether the var…
