A Practical Guide to Clinical Ethics Consulting reasserts the
philosophical method as foundational to ethics consulting. It does
so in response to extensive attacks from social scientists,
lawyers, theologians, and especially practitioners, all of whom
disparage philosophy's reliance on abstract theory and conceptual
analysis. Using clinical ethics consulting as an exemplar,
Christopher Meyers argues that while many of the attacks are well
founded, they are only partly so and not in the most important
respects. Ethics consulting that relies too heavily on abstract
analysis is of little use to practitioners; consultants must have
adequate grounding in, and appreciation of, the concrete reality of
working professionals. They must also be experienced enough to have
the practical wisdom necessary to assist with real-world problems.
Skills of philosophical analysis, when combined with instruction in
empirical investigation, political awareness and appropriate
character traits, are vital to ethics consulting. Ethicists need
the theoretical and conceptual analysis skills that are a standard
part of a philosophical education and mindset. The book provides
both a defense of this central thesis and a detailed description of
the empirical tools and of the critical independence necessary to
effective consulting.
