Contextual Ethics & Moral Complexity — Reasoning Beyond Principle
A structured developmental module for building contextual ethical reasoning at the Rational → Pluralistic edge — developing the capacity to recognize when abstract principles produce unjust outcomes, while preserving the ability for principled judgment and resisting the collapse into moral relativism. Draws on Kohlberg, Gilligan, Johnson, and Zehr.
Integral Ethics: Beyond Relativism & Universalism
Develops integral ethical reasoning — the capacity to deploy appropriate ethical frameworks as skillful means, guided by the developmental level of the situation. Introduces ethical altitude and upāya as the core Teal ethical stance: meeting each being and situation at its actual level of development with the most skillful response, neither collapsing into relativism nor retreating to universalism.
