Description: (Psychologist best known for his theory of stages of moral development)
Lawrence Kohlberg, an influential American psychologist, is well-known for his theory on stages of moral development. He held professorships at the University of Chicago and Harvard University, where he concentrated on moral judgment, expanding on Jean Piaget's research. Despite facing obstacles in getting his views published initially, Kohlberg's work successfully combined Piaget's theories with insights from philosophers Mead and Baldwin, laying the foundation for the field of moral development in psychology. His substantial contributions established him as one of the most prominent psychologists of the 20th century.
