Morality in Children's Worlds--Rationality of Thought or Values Emanating from Relations?

Johansson, Eva

Studies in Philosophy and Education, v20 n4 p345-358 Jul 2001

Analyzes morality as lived, and morality as rationality of thought in pre-school children. Argues that small children have a morality, but that it is lived rather than reflected upon. Highlights the importance of the ontological basis and its role in determining what becomes possible for a researcher to study. (Contains 12 references.) (NB)
