Compassion and Moral Development.
Susky, John E.
Journal of Thought, v14 n3 p227-34 Jul 1979
Critiquing Skinner's and Kohlberg's moral development theories as inadequate, the author asserts that affective development (compassion, empathy, caring) is necessary to moral action. While saying that schools are limited in their ability to provide moral education, he outlines qualities of an educational environment which could facilitate moral growth. (SJL)
