gender differences in ethics and moral development  

Definition

  • The history of reflection on ethics and moral development is inseparable from the history of speculation about gender differences. This entry will outline some of the most historically influential accounts of the nature of ethics and of the presumed differences between women's and men's ethical development and then turn to more contemporary debates on the topic.
