Because of Buffy
May. 3rd, 2005 05:22 pmI came to the Internet realm because of Buffy...posting on the Cross and Stake Spoiler Board first, and then on other boards...So it's time to talk about the Whedonverse in here!
A Structuralist philosopher, Lawrence Kohlberg who was a professor at Harward, has likened six stages of moral development. His ideas can be criticized of course, but they are quite interesting. Lately I read two novels by Dan Simmons in which the author mentioned Kohlberg’s theory to explain the moral behaviour of his characters. This gave me the idea to do the same with the characters of the Jossverse. After all morality was very important in BTVS and Ats! BTVS mostly was about growing-up, which includes moral development.
