Professional Ethics in Context: Institutions, Images and Empathy / Edition 1

by Eric Mount Jr.

Overview

Who we are and what we do as moral persons are shaped by the institutional and organizational environments we inhabit; the images and metaphors with which we perceive problems, people, and ourselves; the worldviews of myths that situate us in an ultimate frame of reference; and the personal stories through which we live. All of these things influence moral development and choice. In this book, Eric Mount Jr. shows that what we see is fundamental to what we do.
