complementing Kohlberg’s focus on declarative knowledge and Gilligan’s focus on

intentional and attentional ethics need to be brought into

the lack of direct analysis of the underlying psychology of the stages is a deficiency

and that both approaches are necessary to create a moral

we believe that both Kohlberg’s and Gilligan’s theories constitute very partial

the hallmark of the conventional stage is that

the earliest stage of ethical development occurs before empathy

which initiates emotional empathy and corresponding cognitive

this sensory input causes motor responses in us similar

which is able to play “mental movies” of prior and

this ties in closely with how CogPrime handles episodic knowledge – partly

in a similar manner to how humans regularly simulate

emotional caring rather than rationalized

the ethics of care is broken into the same three primary stage as Kohlberg

which in turn leads to morality which is actually more stable because

this cognitive flexibility generally leads to more sophisticated and

it is associated with negative traits (“moral relativism”
