ASSIS, Eliasaf Rodrigues de; CARNEIRO, Kleber Tuxen; BRONZATTO, Maurício  y  CAMARGO, Ricardo Leite de. Lawrence Kohlberg and the years of lead: demands for justice and the search through pos-conventional morality. ETD [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.1, pp.276-297. ISSN 1676-2592.  https://doi.org/10.20396/etd.v20i1.8647967.

This essay is devoted to understanding the biographical nature and the social and historical context in which Lawrence Kohlberg (1927-1987) developed his theory of cognitive development about morality, as he named it himself. It also discusses how the investigations that originated Kohlberg's moral theory were motivated, in part, by an acute search for the sense of justice. This quest was consolidated on the social movements of protest, in cultural products like music and photojournalism, and in specific research about authority obedience. The “years of lead” lived by Kohlberg covers the end of the World War II, the Cold War, the repression of pacifist protests and it reaches the mid-1970s. The essay proposes that the quest of justice was not only personal, but also due to a demand for social change on a global scale, contemporary to Kohlberg’s life and academic career. Subsequently, Kohlberg applied his findings to education, conceiving the school as a privileged space for the search of justice and post-conventional morality.
