What is the point of moral reasoning? Well, we can think of moral reasoning as a tool and, like any tool, there are lots of ways it can be used. One thing it can be used for is discovering truths. People who use moral reasoning to try to discover truths begin with a certain view about morality.
Kohlberg found that more men reached this stage of moral reasoning than women and that men tended to be heavily focused on justice. Gilligan criticized this theory, arguing that it was biased in favor of men. In her own research, Gilligan found that women placed a stronger emphasis on caring in moral decision making. Kohlberg's theory emphasizing justice does not allow for the role of caring in moral decision making, and this is why women often fail to reach Kohlberg's âhigherâ stages of moral reasoning.
