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.
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.
An orientation to the Moral developmental line as two fully parallel tracks — Kohlberg's justice track and Gilligan's care track — establishing that mature moral development requires integrating both, and that neither track alone provides an adequate map of full moral development.
