Lawrence Kohlberg on Injustice - Dictionary of Arguments
Slater I 168 Injustice/Kohlberg: Kohlberg addressed questions of honesty in his dilemmas and saw it as central to moral reasoning, which is consistent with a tradition within philosophy of declaring that lying is morally reprehensible because of its potential to cause injustice and harm to others. Although honesty is an important component of morality, the relation between the two is not always straightforward (Turiel, 2008)(1), and there are situations in which honesty comes into conflict with other moral values. Philosophers have often considered extreme cases in which the values of honesty and benevolence come into conflict, such as when deciding whether to tell a murderer about a potential victim’s whereabouts. >Conflicts, >Truthfulness, >Morality, >Morality/Kohlberg, >Morals/Kohlberg, >E.
