Mapping the moral domain

Gilligan, Carol, ed
In the fourteen articles collected in this volume, Carol Gilligan and her colleagues expand the theoretical base of In a Different Voice and apply their research methods to a variety of life situations. The contrasting voices of justice and care clarify different ways in which women and men speak about relationships and lend different meanings to connection, dependence, autonomy, responsibility loyalty, peer pressure, and violence. By examining the moral dilemmas and self-descriptions of children, high school students, urban youth, medical students, mothers, lawyers, and others, the authors chart a new terrain: a mapping of the moral domain that includes the voices of women. In this new terrain the authors trace far-reaching implications of the inclusion of women’s voices for developmental psychology, for education, for women, and for men.

Society and nature: a sociological inquiry

Kelsen, Hans
In attempting to understand the psychological aspects of the developmental process and socialization, the distinct disciplines of sociology and psychology were brought together for the first time. Titles in this set analyze how behaviour is formed and learned. The set contains such classic works as Erich Fromm's 'The Sane Society' and Neil Smelser's 'Theory of Collective Behaviour'.
