What makes it possible developmentally, cognitively, and emotionally to make a promise in the first place? What compels one to keep a promise (or vow or threat) when there seems to be no personal advantage in doing so, and even when harm can be predicted? This title addresses these questions, drawing on literature of moral development in children.
