Abstract

Different perspectives about justice have been competing in ethical philosophy from Plato and Aristotle to contemporary debates. However, cognitive developmental psychology has traditionally based its empirical research in the Kantian conception of distributive justice. This paper analyzes the consequences of such assumption for psychological research, contrasting it with cognitive polyphasia thesis and its empirical results. Thus the decontextualized moral situations in which genetic psychology is based on are compared with moral problems that individuals experience in their everyday life. Finally, the uniqueness and universality of an immanent development of rational thought are rejected and is pointed out the need to reconsider the individual construction processes of moral judgments in the context of social representations that enable and constrain to them.
