Fine condition marbled boards with black spine and black spine lettering, contained in a fine condition similarly marble illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Thomas L. Shaffer; Author Dedication; Quote from The Ethics of the Fathers; Epilogue; Pookas; Acknowledgments; Permissions; Chapter Notes; Bibliography; Index of Names; and Index of Stories. "Thomas L. Shaffer argues here that the morals of lawyers, physicians, journalists, and the clergy in America have been shaped more by family, neighborhood, and religious congregation than by professional codes of ethics, more by hero stories in the professions than by the "role morality" that has dominated official discussion of morals in the professions since the middle of the nineteenth century. In critical terms, his argument is that the morals of modern American professional people have been corrupted by misguided professionalism and weak philosophy - by what Emile Durkheim called the "market morality" of the era of the robber barons, and by enlightenment philosophy's insistence on separating facts from values and individuals from their communities. Professional codes and professional regulation, notably in the legal profession in America, exalt vocational principle over the traditional morals of character. But in practice, Shaffer argues, America's reporters, business people, physicians, clergy, and lawyers value and cutivate the classical ethics of virtue. The virtues, as they are described by Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, and in the English gentleman's ethic have been neglected in American professional theory but they survive in American homes, towns, and religious congregations in such broadly cultural statements of morals as the Scout Law and in popular stories about doctors and lawyers. The distortions that come to official professional ethics are worth exploring, though, because they highlight and evidence the neglect of such potent sources of morals as religion, American immigrant culture, and the influence women have had in the professions and on young people who enter and shape professional life. The wrong course that official professional ethics has taken in America demonstrates the connection between professional ethics and culture, a connection that is demonstrated in old stories about doctors and lawyers - stories such as Eliot's Middlemarch, the Southern-lawyer stories of William Faulkner and Harper Lee, Sinclair Lewis's Arrowsmith, and modern stories from the pens of Louis Auchincloss, George V. Higgins, and others. Shaffer also considers folk poetry, biblical and theological views of professional service, educational practice in law schools and teaching hospitals, and biographies. Faith and the Professions is, finally, an argument for the relevance of religious ethics in the professions and in business - an argument Shaffer began to make in his On Being a Christian (1981) and a Lawyer and continued in his American Legal Ethics (1985)." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.…

Descripción de la tienda
Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
