520 1 $a"Discussions of professional ethics tend to emphasize what not to do. Why, Michael Pritchard asks, should they also not consider the ethical heights to which professionals should aspire?" "Pritchard explores here the interplay of virtues, ideals, and moral rules in everyday life and the professions. He emphasizes the positive dimension of professional ethics - actions that thoughtful, conscientious people ought to perceive and pursue in their careers." "As Pritchard observes, problems of professional ethics originate in an increasingly specialized society where few people are able to evaluate, let alone discredit, the actions of any given expert; all too often, we trust experts because it's all we can do. Pritchard addresses this concern by focusing on different conceptions of the responsibilities of individual professionals, illustrating the best of what professional ethics might offer through true stories of people from various professions - engineering, business, architecture, the health sciences - who have felt ethically impelled to go beyond the call of duty." "Professional Integrity offers valuable insights not only for philosophers interested in professional responsibility but also for general readers in a variety of settings, demonstrating that practical ethics and professional responsibilities are rich and complex notions, requiring skills and character traits that ideally need to be cultivated at an early age."--BOOK JACKET.
