<p>El presente artículo pretende realizar un acercamiento a los estudios sobre el razonamiento moral humano desarrollados por Lawrence Kohlberg<a href="file:///C:/Users/windows/Dropbox/Doctorat/Articles%20en%20revistes/Daimon%20n%C2%BA63/La%20%C3%A9tica%20del%20cuidado%20y%20Carol%20Gilligan%20-%20Daimon%2063.doc#_ftn1">[1]</a> así como a la crítica realizada por parte de Carol Gilligan a dicho trabajo. Abordaremos pues, la teoría del desarrollo moral de Kohlberg, adentrándonos en los niveles morales preconvencional, convencional y postconvencional, con el objetivo de discernir si esta explicación evolutiva de la moralidad humana adquiere un carácter universal, o si por el contrario, se refiere a las estructuras morales de un grupo humano concreto. Más tarde, nos introduciremos en la crítica de Gilligan<a href="file:///C:/Users/windows/Dropbox/Doctorat/Articles%20en%20revistes/Daimon%20n%C2%BA63/La%20%C3%A9tica%20del%20cuidado%20y%20Carol%20Gilligan%20-%20Daimon%2063.doc#_ftn2">[2]</a> hacia dichos niveles morales, haciendo hincapié en la necesidad de incorporar las particularidades contextuales en la noción de razonamiento moral para definir un nivel postconvencional contextualista, que nos permita confrontar las nociones de ética de la justicia y ética del cuidado.</p><div><br /><hr size="1" /><div><p><a href="file:///C:/Users/windows/Dropbox/Doctorat/Articles%20en%20revistes/Daimon%20n%C2%BA63/La%20%C3%A9tica%20del%20cuidado%20y%20Carol%20Gilligan%20-%20Daimon%2063.doc#_ftnref1">[1]</a> Kohlberg, L., <em>The Philosophy of Moral Development</em>, San Francisco, Harper &amp; Row, 1981.</p></div><div><p><a href="file:///C:/Users/windows/Dropbox/Doctorat/Articles%20en%20revistes/Daimon%20n%C2%BA63/La%20%C3%A9tica%20del%20cuidado%20y%20Carol%20Gilligan%20-%20Daimon%2063.doc#_ftnref2">[2]</a> Gilligan, C., <em>In a Different Voice: Psychological Theory and Women’s Development</em>, Cambridge, Harvard University Press, 1982.</p></div></div>

The Individual

Predominantly non-etiological conceptions have dominated the field of mental retardation (MR) since the discovery of the genetic etiology of Down syndrome (DS) in the sixties. However, contemporary approaches are becoming more etiologically oriented. Important differences across MR syndromes of genetic origin are being documented, particularly in the cognition and language domains, differences not explicable in terms of psychometric level, motivation, or other dimensions. This paper highlights the major difficulties observed in the oral language development of individuals with genetic syndromes of mental retardation. The extent of inter- and within-syndrome variability are evaluated. Possible brain underpinnings of the behavioural differences are envisaged. Cases of atypically favourable language development in MR individuals are also summarized and explanatory variables discussed. It is suggested that differences in brain architectures, originating in neurological development and having genetic origins, may largely explain the syndromic as well as the individual within-syndrome variability documented. Lastly, the major implications of the above points for current debates about modularity and developmental connectionism are spelt out.
