In this timely and enlightening new work, Mark Blitz explores the
link between character and politics in liberal democracies,
focusing on the importance of responsibility in American public and
professional life. He begins by analyzing the place of
responsibility in politics, tackling contemporary questions with an
eye toward foreign policy and the workings of bureaucracies.
Turning to the ways in which responsibility functions in the
professions, Blitz critically examines the link between responsible
character and the conditions for success in law, journalism,
education, and philanthropy. Paying particular attention to
biotechnology, Blitz explores responsibility's future and limits in
a field fraught with theoretical and practical controversy.
Finally, Blitz places liberalism and responsibility in a
philosophical context through a thoughtful discussion of John
Locke's philosophy. As the nation hotly debates the role of values
and character, Duty Bound is a timely look at the importance of one
of America's classic civic virtues.
