Abstract
This article attempts a critical analysis of Kohlberg’s stage theory of moral development in the context of an ideology critique. From this point of view, Kohlberg’s stage theory is characterized as a species of ‘liberal ideology’. The analysis of his postconventional stages relies on Rawls’ criticism of the conception of a ‘just community’. The critique of Rawls’ is reflecting upon Kohlberg’s theory since it draws heavily from this ‘liberal’ conception of justice. A critical analysis of Piaget’s structuralism is briefly noted relating it to Kohlberg’s developmental structuralism. The separations of thought from action, is from ought, are analyzed as weaknesses stemming from this structural point of view.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
