L. J. Walker and R. C. Pitts (1998) suggest that research on prototypes of moral excellence can lead to important new insights for accounts of moral development that are unlikely to emerge from the efforts of theorists working within psychological or philosophical paradigms. In this commentary, I argue that (a) experts in philosophical and psychological paradigms can and do contribute to revisions of theories of moral excellence, and (b) the study of prototypes has limited value for resolving some important theoretical issues. Three research topics that can be informed by the investigation of prototypes of moral excellence are described
Adolescent development · Childhood development · Cognitive psychology · Cognitive science · Developmental psychology · Developmental stage theories · Engineering ethics · Epistemology · Excellence · Moral development · Moral disengagement · Moral psychology · Moral reasoning · Social cognitive theory of morality · Value (mathematics · Value theory · Cultural Differences and Values · Education and Critical Thinking Development · Ego Development and Educational Practices · Ethics in Business and Education · Philosophy · Psychology · Psychology of Moral and Emotional Judgment · Social Psychology
