Abstract
A leading developmental psychologist, Lawrence Kohlberg, has advocated reintroducing into the curriculum of the public schools.' In the resulting debate, the demarcation lines between the empirical questions on one side and the conceptual-moral-political ones on the other are even more blurred than usual. Consequently, philosophers are embroiled in the dispute along with Kohlberg.2 Those who oppose Kohlberg's recommendations fear nothing less than a revival of indoctrination and cite diverse authorities such as Huxley and Hebb to the effect that is some form of indoctrination. Kohlberg, on the other hand, is at pains to emphasize that his form of moral education is in essence rational and that we need fear no emerging Brave New World.
