This volume contains a selection of papers from the 21st annual
'Australian Association for Professional and Applied Ethics'
Conference. It addresses the key theme of Political Leadership,
Professional Ethics, and the Problem of Dirty Hands. 'Dirty hands'
is a somewhat nebulous concept. It may refer to professions whose
objectives are so consequential that some ethical violations are
considered justifiable. In another sense it might suggest
situations where professional obligations might require the
performance of deeds that contradict one's own moral beliefs. The
term is perhaps most synonymous with political leadership and
raises the question: Should leaders ever get their hands dirty? For
applied ethicists, recognizing that sometimes there are compelling
arguments in favor of certain moral violations is a professional
necessity. This volume contains papers on a broad range of issues
including discussions of medical ethics, military ethics, domestic
political matters, and the very nature of 'professions' themselves.
It will be of interest to those interested in politics, as well as
those involved in research or training in ethics and professional
practice.
