Karen Lebacqz here offers a logical yet eminently human
framework for ethical decision making. Quoting and clarifying the
thoughts of the field's top authorities, Dr. Lebacqz summarizes the
issues and questions that have, until now, served as the boundaries
of debate. Then she moves beyond that; formulating new questions,
demonstrating why the answers to those questions are critical,
laying the groundwork for what eventually emerges--a new way of
perceiving and resolving complex ethical questions.
Professional Ethics: Power and Paradox utilizes the "praxis"
method of analysis. An actual ethical dilemma is offered, then
treated theoretically throughout the text in order to demonstrate
how a professional decision involving the dilemma might be
reached.
Central to the ethical framework offered here is the focus on
three steps toward a decision: action (what are the available
alternatives?); character (what does it mean to be a professional
in relation to the question?); and structure (how do structures
limit or modify the alternatives?). The resolution of these and
related, subordinate questions, Dr. Lebacqz asserts, is the
foundation of a new framework for ethical decision making.
