Kohlberg is well-known moral psychologist and moral educator of contemporary American, he created the research and reform new era in which moral development and moral education field. By searching the Kohlberg's research logic to try to overall carding of his moral education theory. I hope our country's moral education reform can learn from his theory.In previous studies, it was wrong to make Kohlberg's moral development psychological model which partitioned by the different structures of moral judgment as the entire contents of the research project. But when we put the Kohlberg's theory under his build and practice the democratic society background, we will find that his theory is a complex system which includes philosophy, psychology and practical point of view. Philosophically, he advances the assumptions of metaethics and ethical prescriptivism; psychologically, he constructs the Three-level-and-six-stage model of moral cognitive development; in moral practice, he also makes some wonderful discussion about such moral education aspects of aim, object and strategy.Generalize the system of Kohlberg's moral education theory; there are indeed some of the errors and imperfections. Such as, oppugn on the assumption of universalism and hard-stage mode, lack of the moral education contents, and so on. But the implication of the Kohlberg's moral education theory is more scientific and reasonable. And the number of new research findings of current scholars can make the amendment and added constantly, so that this system will always be in the development and perfect process.Under the context of social transformation, The Chinese moral education is taking place in great change. The traditional values is larger impacted, and the new values has not been fully established. At this time, in need of fresh blood is injected. In "make foreign things serve China" ideology, combination with the actual school moral education in China, creative research, try to get the inspiration from study the Kohlberg's theory.
