Kohlberg's theory of moral development proposes that individuals progress through six sequential stages of moral reasoning. The stages are grouped into three levels: pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional. Kohlberg developed this stage theory based on his research posing moral dilemmas to children and examining their reasoning. His theory holds that moral reasoning develops in a predetermined sequence, from viewing rules as external to obey to maintaining internal principles of justice.
