Thomas L. Shaffer argues that the morals of modern American lawyers and doctors have been corrupted by misguided professionalism and weak philosophy. He shows that professional codes exalt vocational principle over the traditional morals of character; but that, in practice, America's professionals and business people cultivate the ethics of character. The ethics of virtue have been neglected. The ethical argument in Faith and the Professions is in part an application to professional life of the position taken by Alasdair MacIntyre in After Virtue and in Revisions, and by Robert Bellah and his collaborators in Habits of the Heart. It is also, in part, an argument for the relevance of religious ethics. 174.20887065619 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 174.2 Sha f E07005913 Non Fiction 174.2 Sha f A1vlM1qDSeL._SY425_.jpg 45604 2014-12-09 10:16:07 2024-10-16 17:24:15 machine generated
