From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Burton Visotzky is an ethicist who studied under Lawrence Kohlberg.
He later applied the moral reasoning and ethical relationship approach pioneered by Kohlberg and Carol Gilligan to Ethics in the Bible in his book The Genesis of Ethics, 1997. This explored a modern incarnation of the Jewish theological traditionss of midrash, and built on Visotzky's experience leading seminars on ethics in Manhattan with a mixed group of students, businessmen and professionals of various religious backgrounds.
