Larry May argues that socially responsive individuals need not be
self-sacrificing or overly conscientious. According to May, a
person's integrity and moral responsibility are shaped and limited
not just by conscience but also by socialization and moral support
from the communities to which he or she belongs.
Applying his theory of responsibility to professional ethics, May
contends that current methods of professional socialization should
be changed so that professionals are not expected to ignore
considerations of personal well-being, family, or community. For
instance, lawyers should not place client loyalty above concerns
for the common good; doctors should not place the physical
well-being of patients above their mental and spiritual well-being;
scientists and engineers should not feel obliged to blow the
whistle on fraud and corruption unless their professional groups
protect them from retaliation.
This book should prove provocative reading for philosophers,
political scientists, social theorists, professionals of many
stripes, and ethicists.
