[Magdalen] Just a thought

[ROGER STOKES]

I would guess that was age about 10. It varies between individuals but that is the age at which the ability to think i abstract terms begins.  Some people will continue to take things literally throughout their lives but 10 is generally regarded as the average.
As for Kohlberg, Joan's first published paper was "The Myth of Moral Development" and debunked Kohlberg.  It's years since I read it and, as I'm away  from home overnight for  meeting later, I can't look it up now.  However when I read it Joan did highlight the assumptions Kohlberg had made and how his conclusions could not be considered to apply universally.

 One of the things I LOVE about criminal law is that intent is
always factored in the charge.

Wasn't in Kohlberg who looked at the time in childhood when
intent bcame a part of moral thinking? Very small children think
breaking five teacups by accident is worse than breaking one on
purpose (five being greater than one). But at a certain age,
children realize that breaking a single cup on purpose is worse.
