Moral development: conflicts and compromises

In this chapter, we present a brief overview of what we know (and what we do not know) about the development of morality. We aim to describe all the key advances in the field of morality ranging from Piaget and Kohlberg to recent insights regarding infants' socio-moral abilities and multiple-processes models of morality. This findings are critically discussed in order to highlight current debate in the field of moral development and promising avenues for future research.
