International Library of Essays in Public and Professional Ethics

'Ethics' is
now a considerable part of all debates about the conduct of public
life, in government, economics, law, business, the professions and,
indeed, every area of social and political affairs. The
ethical aspects of public life include questions of moral right and
wrong in the performance of public and professional roles, the
moral justification and critique of public institutions and the
choices that confront citizens and professionals as they come to
their own moral views about social, economic and political
issues.
This series brings together essays that exhibit high-quality
work in philosophy and the social sciences that is well informed on
the relevant subject matter and provides novel insights into the
problems that arise in resolving ethical questions in practical
contexts.
