Resumo: | This article revolves around the “Why be moral?” question, a fundamental ethical question raised by Kohlberg and Ryncarz (1990) in the field of moral development. The study is in three parts. In the first part, Introduction, I refer to this fundamental ethical question and the questions related to it. In the second part, I compare Kohlberg’s response to that question and the questions related to it with those given, implicitly or explicitly, by other relevant figures of developmental psychology. Contrary to other developmental psychologists, I argue that, for several reasons, Kohlberg’s response to the why be moral question is more complete and deeper than that presented by the relevant developmental figures analyzed in this article. Despite this, I recognize that, as far as the other questions associated with the why be moral question are concerned, all those figures made important contributions to a better understanding of one’s moral functioning, and that some of them explored moral issues, which, to some extent, were overlooked by Kohlberg. In the third part, Final Words, I summarize the main ideas of the paper and enumerate several reasons why Kohlberg’s answer to the why be moral question is the most complete and deepest one among those presented so far in the field of moral development. |

O artigo consta de três partes. Na primeira parte, Introdução, refiro-me a essa questão ética fundamental e às questões relacionadas com tal questão. Na segunda, comparo a resposta de Kohlberg a todas estas questões com as respostas a tais questões que foram dadas, implícita ou explicitamente, por outras figuras relevantes da psicologia do desenvolvimento. Ao invés de outros psicólogos do desenvolvimento, argumento que, por razões várias, a resposta de Kohlberg à questão por que razão ser moral é mais completa e profunda do que a apresentada pelas figuras relevantes do desenvolvimento analisadas neste artigo. Não obstante este facto, reconheço que, no que concerne às outras questões associadas com a questão do por que razão ser moral, todas essas figuras deixaram contributos para uma melhor compreensão do funcionamento moral da pessoa e que algumas delas exploraram aspectos morais que, em certa extensão, foram subestimados por Kohlberg. Na terceira parte, Palavras Finais, resumo as principais razões deste artigo e enumero as razões pelas quais a resposta de Kohlberg à questão “Porquê ser moral?” é mais completa e profunda entre as apresentadas até agora no campo do desenvolvimento moral.Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra2014-03-28info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_56_2https://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_56_2Psychologica; Vol. 56 (2013); pp. 25-42Psychologica; Vol. 56 (2013); pp. 25-421647-86060871-465710.14195/1647-8606_56reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/1647-8606_56_2https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/1647-8606_56_2/1181Lourenço, Orlandoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-05-31T13:59:27Zoai:impactum-journals.uc.pt:article/1810Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:57:29.801993Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
