  • Rushton, John Philippe (1982): Moral Cognition, Behaviorism, and Social Learning Theory. In: Ethics 92 (3), S. 459-467. DOI: 10.1086/292355

    Abstract: Dennis Krebs, a social psychologist, and Thomas Wren, a moral philosopher, have provided critiques of the social learning theory (SLT) approach to morality. Kreb's perspective derives from cognitive-developmental theory (CDT) which he views as the main alternative to SLT, whereas Wren's is "somewhat more psychodynamic than Harré's and yet more socially interactive than Freud`s." Krebs and Wren make numerous specific criticisms (Krebs of particulars of my own earlier article on alruism; Wren of the different SLT approaches), and both offer alternative suggestions for future directions (Krebs of the importance of intentional reasoning preparatory to behaving; Wren of a hierarchical system in which an executive agency mediates affectice structures).
