Can individuals believe that they are acting with integrity, yet
in disobedience to the dictates of their conscience? Can they
retain fidelity to their conscience while ignoring a sense of what
integrity requires? Integrity and conscience are often thought to
be closely related, perhaps even different aspects of a single
impulse. This timely book supports a different and more complicated
view. Acting with integrity and obeying one's conscience might be
mutually reinforcing in some settings, but in others they can live
in varying degrees of mutual tension. Bringing together prominent
scholars of legal theory and political philosophy, the volume
addresses both classic ruminations on integrity and conscience by
Plato, Hume, and Kant as well as more contemporary examinations of
professional ethics and the complex relations among politics, law
and personal morality.
