This collected volume of essays represents the work of scholars from DePaul University who have served a term as the Wicklander Chair in Business Ethics. These essays, which represent written versions of public lectures, focus on a wide range of issues that have bothered and continue to plague ethicists, legal scholars, and practicing managers in business. These issues include the role of self-interest in commerce, moral character, evil and complacency, privacy, spirituality in the workplace, truth-telling, globalization challenges, and the function of narrative.

Set in Vichy France in 1945, Irlandis is a virile turbulent romance in which Gaelic's serendipity and Gallic's sophistication clash with the brutal realities of Nazi occupation. In human affairs it may often be true, that organized conscious evil will recognize and take full advantage of human frailty. Yet by its very nature, evil remains ignorant of the human mysterious of love and conscience. The Devil will often have his way, but he is not infallible. Sometimes when he sends his wolves upon the sheepfold, he finds the wolfhound within.
