Psychologists and other social scientists from Germany explore the interaction between moral development and the social milieu in which it occurs. They rely heavily on empirical research, but
insist that it must be grounded on a well-formulated theory of the relationship between society, cognition, and behavior. Among their topics are philosophical notes on moral judgment theory (by
J羹gan Habermas), moral competence and democratic personality, helping bank trainees form a social and moral identity in their workplace, how scientists think about science and morality,
segmentation of soldiers' moral judgment, and political commitment and moral judgment in single-issue movements. The volume is a facsimile of the 1981 publication by Precedent Publishing.
