Abstract
Shortly after Lawrence Kohlberg’s death, I (Power, 1991) noted that perhaps the most revealing statement about Kohlberg’s life was the epilogue to his first book, “Education for Justice: The Vocation of Janusz Korczak” (Kohlberg, 1984). In that Epilogue, which I helped him to compose, he re-told the story of Janusz Korczak, who gave up a lucrative medical practice to work as a moral educator in orphanages for Jewish and Christian children in Warsaw.
