"Postconventional Moral Thinking is a rich and detailed book....It is very well organised and clearly written. Knowledgeable readers will quickly locate specific areas of interest. Those new to the field will find the systematic presentation of research, theory, critique and refutation most helpful."
—Journal of Moral Education

"...the volume provides a provocative framework for understanding moral development that will be of interest to a wide range of investigators and that points to worthwhile directions for future research."

It is likely to be considered a 'must read' in the field of moral development research."
