What is the root cause of ethical failure? Why is preoccupation
with ethics more a part of the problem than a part of the solution?
What makes ethical conduct a natural expression of who we are? What
enables us to be ourselves in our relations with others? Ethical
failure has become a significant concern in public life, in
organizations and in educational institutions. The Capacity for
Ethical Conduct explores how qualities of character and personality
either make ethical conduct possible for the individual or foster
ethical failure. David Levine discusses how ethical conduct is a
special way of relating to others, one that secures respect for
their integrity by assuring that what they do can express who they
are. He argues that this special way of relating to others results
not from knowledge of, or a stated commitment to, rules, norms and
values, but from the way we experience ourselves, especially from
our ability to make a positive emotional investment in being and
having a self. Traditionally, emphasis on the importance of values
and ethics in shaping conduct tends to be connected to the need to
find fault in self and others, fostering an atmosphere where the
self is put at risk in its relations to others. This means that an
excessive emphasis on ethics, rather than assuring ethical conduct,
tends instead to create interpersonal settings marked by emotional
assault. Because of this, talk about ethics often expresses
ambivalence about ethical conduct, which makes the familiar
combination of preoccupation with ethics and ethical failure
unsurprising. The Capacity for Ethical Conduct explores the ways in
which the interpersonal world of work either fosters a feeling of
safety or encourages various forms of emotional assault. Presenting
case studes and applying psychoanalytic object relation theory and
self psychology, this book explores the factors underlying ethical
failure and the capacity for ethical conduct. It will be of
interest to scholars and practioners in the fields of
psychoanalysis, psychology, philosophy, sociology, organizational
dynamics, management and public administration.
