Leading Moral Development Into the Future

Session Type: Pre-Conference Mentoring Session

Abstract

Moral development is a key aspect of human development. It was defined, e.g., in terms of virtue, character, and perfectionism; socialization, maturity, acquisition of adult moral standards; developing post-conventional structures/schemes of moral reasoning, judgment and decision-making; perspective-taking, moral competence, flourishing; cognitive evolution, intuitionism, tacit and explicit knowledge, moral foundations, extended moral mind. But what are the future perspectives on moral development? What factors: parental, cultural, formal education-related, technological, or post-humanist ones will stimulate and challange moral development? What predicts the new directions? What kind of topics will be of particular interest? Let us get started with “Indigenous Moral Wisdom” by Prof. Dr. Darcia Narvaez.
