In Defense of Moral Realism: Reply to Gabennesch.

Shweder, Richard A.

Child Development, v61 n6 p2060-67 Dec 1990

The moral realism of everyday life is neither Piaget's childlike egocentrism nor Gabennesch's reification. Natural moral law is seen by Turiel, a cognitivist, as a code of harm, rights, and justice. Other cognitivists accept codes of duty and natural order. (BC)
